In the present study, an adjoint-based shape-optimization method has been developed for
designing extended heat transfer surfaces in conjugate heat transfer problems. Here we …

Aiming to improve the solidification performance of the shell-and-tube latent heat thermal
energy storage unit (LHTESU), a fin structure based on an innovative fast optimization …

EAT exchanger fins are used to enhance removal of heat from any surface that is being
heated. It is a well known fact that changes in the shape of the fin can result in improved …

The freedom of additive manufacturing allows for the production of heat-transferring
structures that are optimized in terms of heat transfer and pressure loss using various …

A tree-like fin is investigated and optimized by the constructal optimization method. The tree
shape is not mimicked. Rather, the T-shaped fin—which was optimized in a previous paper …

Although a substantial amount of research is available on annular step fin, only a few works
are dedicated to the study of annular step fin array. In the present work, an annular fin array …

For many practical engineering applications, the thermal conductivity and heat transfer
coefficient of the fin are function of temperatures and this makes the design problem …

The paper aims to investigate numerically the thermal and flow characteristics of an
internally finned rectangular enclosure during the solidification process of a superheated …

In this study, heat sinks in natural convection are thermally optimized using the method of
three-dimensional topology optimization. In order to perform three-dimensional topology …
