Optimization of fluid flow and internal geometric structure of volumes cooled by forced convection in an array of parallel tubes

This paper reports the optimization of a heat sink composed of parallel tubes in a solid matrix of fixed dimensions for the following cases: (i) fixed pressure drop; (ii) fixed pumping power and (iii) fixed heat transfer rate density. The method of the intersection of asymptotes is employed using th...
