“…The genetic algorithm is a global search optimization tool which is similar to the Darwinian natural selection process to obtain the optimal solution. It has been used to determine the optimized performance of micro-channel heat sinks (Badenhorst, 2019;Jeevan et al, 2005;Khan et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2007;Luo et al, 2019;Shao et al, 2007Shao et al, , 2009Shao et al, , 2011 and proved to be a fast optimization tool in the exploration of the performance of potential coolants with limited available data (Ghazali-Mohd et al, 2015). Thus, the genetic algorithm was utilized to optimize the design of heat sink in this study.…”
