Multi-objective optimization of micro-fin helical coil tubes based on the prediction of artificial neural networks and entropy generation theory

The heat transfer, flow resistance and entropy generation characteristics of micro-fin helical coil tubes (MFHCTs) are investigated numerically. MFHCT with different fin numbers (2≤N≤6), coil pitches (150mm≤P≤450mm), coil diameters (600mm≤D≤1200mm) and Reynolds numbers (10945≤Re≤30845) are examined....
