Optimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers using a general design approach motivated by constructal theory

A general optimization design method motivated by constructal theory is proposed for heat exchanger design in the present paper. The simplified version of this design approach is suggested and the optimization problem formulations are given. In this method, a global heat exchanger is divided into se...
