Optimal design of vertical ground heat exchangers by using entropy generation minimization method and genetic algorithms

•An optimal design methodology for vertical ground heat exchangers is proposed.•The dimensionless entropy generation number is employed as the objective function.•Thermodynamic analysis of vertical ground heat exchangers is performed. This paper presents the development and validation of an optimal...
