- •
A comprehensive design procedure for a shell and tube heat exchanger is provided.
- •
The firefly algorithm is applied for economic optimization with total annual cost as objective function.
- •
Two different case studies have been considered for application of the Firefly algorithm.
- •
The results are compared with the original design and other optimization methods available in literature.
- •
The results of this work are found to be most economical as compared to other optimization methods.
