Thermodynamic optimization of finned crossflow heat exchangers for aircraft environmental control systems
TLDR
In this paper, the main geometric features of a flow component can be deduced from the thermodynamic optimization of the global performance of the largest flow system that incorporates the component, and the method illustrated in this paper is applicable to any system that runs on the basis of a limited amount of fuel (exergy) installed onboard.About:

Energy and cost optimization of a plate and fin heat exchanger using genetic algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, a plate and fin heat exchanger is considered and air, as an ideal gas, is defined in both sides of the heat exchange as the working fluid Several geometric variables within the logical constraints are considered as optimization parameters Two different objective functions including the total rate of heat transfer and the total annual cost of the system are defined.
