On a new globally optimal method for the design optimization of air coolers coupled with real fans
A new approach for the globally optimal design of air coolers is presented. First, by coupling the air cooler geometric options with commercially available fans, the traditional mismatch emerging from designing the air cooler first and selecting a commercial fan later is removed. Second, the method departs from the traditional LMTD and ε-NTU methods, adopting a model composed of a differential–algebraic system of equations (DAE system) for the air cooler simulation, which is discretized to consider properties variable with temperature. The resultant optimization problem is solved using Set Trimming and Smart Enumeration, which can identify the global optimum through the simulation of only a small fraction of the search space. The comparison of the simulation results with different commercial software provided similar outputs. A comparison with design results obtained using LMTD solutions indicates that the LMTD models may overdesign/underdesign the unit.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
