Session targeted for audience in Asia (July 03, 2025 at 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM India Standard Time, 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM China Standard Time, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Japan Standard Time).
Commercial heat exchangers in the process industries are designed according to standards from entities such as TEMA or API. The designer’s goal is to maximize the heat transfer coefficient and minimize cost, area, and pressure drop. However, these objectives often conflict. For example, changing a geometric design parameter such as tube diameter may simultaneously cause a favorable change in one performance aspect and an unfavorable change in another. Heat exchanger design thus falls in the domain of multi-objective optimization (MOO).
In this webinar, we review what MOO is, how it differs from single-objective optimization, and how and why a heat exchanger design problem is a MOO problem. We illustrate how to solve the problem using readily available tools in Python®. A heat exchanger designer may have to change many parameters (often one at a time) to identify a single “best” design. This webinar illuminates how applying MOO in an automated process may allow the designer to choose among a class of best designs instead of derivig only one.
