One method for improving heat transfer performance is to use twisted tape inserts in heat exchanger tubes. Heat transmission is aided by the disturbance of fluid flow caused by these inserts, although research is still ongoing to establish the specific design components that maximize their efficacy. The research focuses on heat transfer optimization in practical applications by exploring hexagonal perforated twisted tape inserts with varied cut orientations (horizontal, vertical, and alternate) and a pitch ratio of 4. The problem becomes more complex without a complete numerical prediction model. The study seeks to construct a hybrid deep neural network based on a gannet optimization algorithm (DNN-GOA) model in order to estimate heat transfer performance accurately. According to the experimental results, the TTA’s specific design with alternate cuts produces a thinner thermal boundary layer and a higher convective heat transfer coefficient for Nusselt number (Nu), friction factor (f), and thermal performance factor (TPF). The Hybrid DNN-GOA model has the best predictive performance, with a high R<sup>2</sup> indicating a tight match between anticipated and real Nu, f, and TPF values.

A hybrid wick structure, composed by sintered copper powder and wire-plate technologies along the device are proposed. Four different types of hybrid mini heat pipes, in up to three generations, were designed and constructed, using diffusion bonding fabrication technique. Two different testing setups were developed. First, the thermal performance of the hybrid heat pipes was accessed, resulting in the selection of the appropriated working fluid and its volume. Second, the devices were tested in rigs that mimic actual electronic equipment geometries and operational conditions. The several hybrid multidimensional heat types worked well, even against gravity.

The model was solved in COMSOL Multiphysics program and verified with experimental results with satisfactory agreement.
