Zusammenfassung: | This paper presents a heuristic optimization method for cooling channels with internal repeated-rib roughness. The method rapidly explores a design space to simultaneously optimize two geometric parameters, channel length, and rib roughness ratio. For a rapid and accurate optimization, the method combines a heuristic optimization technique, simulated annealing (SA), and numerically derived closed-form models of heat transfer and pressure drop. It is shown that approximately 1 million designs are evaluated within 6 s, resulting in optimal designs having minimal thermal resistance for given pressure thresholds. Closed-form correlations for developing and fully developed flow are derived by evaluating discrete design points using a finite volume model (FVM). The derived correlations predict the channel properties with acceptable ranges of mean absolute error ( |
