Multi-objective optimization of drying energy consumption and jet impingement force on a moving curfed surface

Abstract

For the optimization of the impinging round jet, the pressure force coefficient and drying energy consumption on the moving curved surface are set as the objective functions to be minimized simultaneously. SHERPA search algorithm is used to search for the optimal point from multiple objective tradeoff study (Pareto Front) method. It is found that the pressure force coefficient on the impingement surface is highly dependent on the jet to surface distance and jet angle, while the drying energy consumption is highly dependent on the jet to jet spacing. Generally, the best design study during the multi-objective optimization is found at the maximum jet to surface distance, jet to jet spacing and surface velocity, and also minimum inlet velocity and jet angle. © 2022, International Scientific Information, Inc..
