Abstract:This paper investigates global optimization of the detailed design of intensified shell and tube heat exchangers using two tube inserts: twisted tape and coiled wire. Three objectives, including heat exchanger area, total annualized cost, and environmental impact, are respectively minimized. All the design variables are considered as the ones that have discrete values based on their physical nature or manufacturing standards. We present, for the first time, a tailored global optimization approach for the desig… Show more
