Descripción

Optimization in Indirect Evaporative Cooling Systems presents a comprehensive treatment of the thermodynamic modelling, heat and mass transfer, numerical simulation and optimization of indirect evaporative cooling systems. The book covers psychrometric analysis, energy and exergy methods, heat-exchanger design, wettability, flow arrangement, pressure-drop effects, water consumption, CFD modelling, design of experiments, surrogate modelling, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization and multi-objective Pareto optimization. It also addresses hybrid and dew-point systems, climate-specific operation, control strategies, techno-economic analysis and robust design, with mathematical formulations, assumptions, numerical methods and engineering applications.
