Abstract: Repeated ribs are often employed in the midsection of internal cooling passages of turbine blades to augment the heat transfer by air flowing through the internal ribbed passages. Though the research of flow structure and ...

Abstract: Improving heat transfer effectiveness or/and controlling pressure losses requires novel techniques to develop systems of progressively higher heat transfer performance. Optimization techniques can provide a path to the ...

Abstract: Constructal design associated with genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize the geometry of an isothermal Yshaped cavity embedded into a solid conducting wall. The structure has four degrees of freedom (DOF). The ...
