Investigation on the Association of Differential Evolution and Constructal Design for Geometric Optimization of Double Y-Shaped Cooling Cavities Inserted into Walls with Heat Generation

In the constructal design method, comprehension of effect on system performance is crucial to understanding contributions degrees freedom or constraints in evolution direction optimal configurations. However, problems with many are prohibitive optimization exhaustive search, requiring meta-heuristic strategies. Therefore, investigation algorithms essential. This work investigates canonical differential algorithm associated for geometric an isothermal double Y-shaped cooling cavity inserted into a wall internal heat generation. The four over thermal investigated using sixteen different combinations algorithms: variations mutation parameter, two values amplification factor (F) and crossover rate (CR). non-parametric statistical methods Kruskal–Wallis Dunn test were used identify parameters that improve efficiency. Results indicated proposed methodology selected proper combination DE (CR, F, mutation) led best all levels investigated.
