Abstract

To minimize the computational and optimization time, a numerical simulation of 3D microchannel heat sink was performed using surrogate model to achieve the optimum shape. Latin hypercube sampling method was used to explore the design space and to construct the model. The accuracy of the model was evaluated using statistical methods like coefficient of multiple determinations and root mean square error. Thermal resistance and pressure drop being conflicting objective functions were selected to optimize the geometric parameters of the microchannel. Multi objective shape optimization of design was conducted using genetic algorithm and the optimum design solutions are presented in the Pareto front. The application of the surrogate methods has predicted the performance of the heat sink with the sufficient accuracy employing significantly lower computational resources.
