Multi-objective constructal designs of a radiator with rectangular cooling channels and porous fins via composite-function, ANN and NSGA-II

A radiator model with rectangular cooling channels and porous fins is established in this study. With the premise of given volumes of cooling channels and porous fins, constructal design for the radiator is performed by varying the cooling channel aspect ratio ( γ c ) and ratio (...

Analyses of cost of energy and multi-objective optimizations for single-stage thermoelectric coolers

Abstract Based on finite-time thermodynamics and single-stage thermoelectric cooler model from prior literature, this study introduces the cost of energy, it is defined as COE = Q L / I , which quantifies heat flux per unit current passing through thermoelectric cooler from cold...
