Résumé

The stochastic method of numerical optimization is applied to the optimum design of extended heat transfer surfaces and compact heat exchangers. The approach is illustrated on two practical examples: a) shape optimization of a single straight fin cooled by forced convection, b) optimization of the finned array.
