Thermal performance in a pin fin-dimple/protrusion duct with different optimal objectives
In the present study, the optimal objective effect on the thermal performance of a rectangular duct with pin fins and dimples/protrusions is introduced. Four different optimal objectives are selected (entropy generation, entransy dissipation, enerty, and volume goodness factor). The baseline k-ù turbulence model is applied to solve the governing equations. The multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA)
