Optimization of Pin Arrangement and Geometry in EV and HEV Heat Sink Using Genetic Algorithm Coupled With CFD
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The development of high-power electronic devices applied to various energy systems has recently gained a great deal of attention and specifically for electric vehicles (EVs) or hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). However, the continued miniaturization and increased power output of power electronic have also introduced several design challenges especially in thermal management. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used as a design tool to optimize both the pin arrangement and pin geometry of a pin fin heat sink with localized heat sources representing an EV power driver. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used in the GA to evaluate the performance of each potential design during optimization. The GA optimizes a performance index which captures both the pressure drop across the heat exchanger and the thermal efficiency with the two conflicting objectives, the Colburn factor <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$j$</tex> and the friction factor f. A sets of optimization with different geometric parameters have been carried out and compared. The results demonstrate that GA coupled with CFD may be used to create designs that have better heat transfer coefficient and less pressure requirement than traditional pin fin arrangement designs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
