- •
PSO algorithm is used to obtain optimal characteristics of an array of fins in confined cavities.
- •
A simple method is used for connection of free convection problem and PSO problem.
- •
Decrease of heat transfer is obtained with attachment of three very conductive thin fins for high Rayleigh numbers.
- •
The heat transfer mechanism can not be described by try and error method thoroughly.
