Optimization of heat exchangers with vortex-generator fin by Taguchi method

Thermal performance of plate-fin heat exchanger using passive techniques: vortex-generator and nanofluid

“…These appropriate thermal-hydraulic specifications of the VGs as a passive heat transfer enhancement technique have motivated many investigators to study and optimize the performance of these geometries in different heat exchange systems, such as circular and noncircular ducts [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], flat PFHE [13][14][15][16][17][18], tube-fin heat exchanger [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], heat sink [28,29], electronic chip [30,31], and micro-and-mini channels [32]. However, in most studies gases were often used as the heat transfer medium, and studies of liquids are very low.…”

Zeng et al [32] and Hsieh et al [33] applied Taguchi for designing the heat exchangers with two objective functions. In this paper, heat transfer and pressure drop data were normalized and nondimensional using related percentage deviation or RPD to change the characteristics of the both objective function to ''lower is better,''…”

“…The basic principle of the Taguchi method is to develop an understanding of the individual and combined effects of various design parameters from a minimum number of experiments. It is successfully used for determination of the optimum process parameters in various areas such as chemistry [15], energy [16], environment [17], and material manufacturing [18].…”
