4. Conclusions
- -
- The R2adj is found to be more than 99% for each response in the various concentrations by the ANOVA;
- -
- Applying the NSGA-II indicates that the effect of the channel width and cylinder diameter improves by about 20.8% and 18% through increasing the concentration from 0% to 5%;
- -
- The pumping power response is not sensitive to the nanofluid concentration;
- -
- The smaller the fin radius, the higher the HTC and pumping power;
- -
- Channel width has the highest and lowest effect on the HTC and pumping power, respectively;
- -
- The optimization for the concentration of 3% demonstrates that in Re = 500 when the geometry is optimized, the HTC enhances about 8.8%, while the pumping power increases by almost 18%. In contrast, by increasing the concentration from 1% to 3%, merely a 7.6% enhancement in the HTC occurs, while the pumping power intensifies around 60%.
