摘要：In the present paper parallel particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for optimizationof a cross flow plate fin heat exchanger with consideration of entropy generation. A total number of sevengeometrical design parameters, namely, hot fluid length, cold fluid length, length of the fin, height of thefin, frequency of the fin, thickness of the fin, and number of layers of hot side, are considered as theoptimization variables. The accuracy of the algorithm is verified via an applied example. After theverification the computer code is implemented for minimization of entropy generation in the plate fin heatexchanger.
