Optimization of heat sink for thyristor using particle swarm optimization

The objective of this work is to optimize the geometry of the heat sink, which improves the performance. The geometrical parameter chosen for optimization is fin gap. The heat sink is under the condition of natural convection. The optimization method used is particle swarm optimization (PSO). Entrop...
