Constrained multi-objective optimization of radial expanders in organic Rankine cycles by firefly algorithm

•A multi-objective optimization for radial expander in Organic Rankine Cycles is implemented.•By using firefly algorithm, Pareto front based on the size of turbine and thermal efficiency is produced.•Tension and vibration constrains have a significant effect on optimum design points. Organic Rankine...
