A Nonlinear Inverse Design Problem for a Pipe Type Heat Exchanger Equipped with Internal Z-shape Lateral Fins and Ribs

A non-linear three-dimensional inverse shape design problem was investigated for a pipe type heat exchanger to estimate the design variables of continuous lateral ribs on internal Z-shape lateral fins for maximum thermal performance factor h. The design variables were considered as the positions, he...
