Abstract
In this study, the heat transfer optimization (evaporation) and the specification of the FX-70 zeotropic refrigerant flow inside a corrugated pipe have been investigated. Despite the low HTC (HTC), this type of refrigerant is highly applicable in low or medium temperature engineering systems during the evaporation process. To eliminate this defect, high turbulence and proper mixing are required. Therefore, using heat transfer (HT) augmentation methods will be necessary and effective. In order to find the most favorable operating conditions that lead to the optimum combination of pressure drop (PD) and HTC, empirical data, neural networks, and genetic algorithms (GA) for multi-objective (MO) (NSGA II) are used. To investigate the mentioned cases, the geometric parameters of corrugated pipes, vapor quality, and mass velocity of refrigerant were studied. The results showed that with vapor quality higher than 0.8 and corrugation depth and pitch of 1.5 and 7 mm, respectively, we would achieve the desired optimum design.
