Global optimization of a single inlet T- junction cooling system using differential evolution

Over the past few decades, differential evolution (DE) has emerged as a versatile algorithm for solving a wide range of global optimization problems arising in various fields. The present study discusses a novel application of DE for thermal optimization of a single inlet T-junction. It is a common but complex problem arising in the field of thermal engineering and can be formulated as a global optimization problem subject to constraints. The current study shows the efficiency of DE in dealing with such problems.
