Description
Summary:In this study, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) surrogate model in combination with a multi-objective genetic algorithm are developed for the design optimization of a bionic liquid cooling plate with a spider-web channel structure. The single-factor sensitivity analysis is first conducted based on the numerical simulation approach, identifying three key factors as design variables for optimizing design objectives such as maximum temperature (<i>T</i><sub>max</sub>), maximum temperature difference (Δ<i>T</i><sub>max</sub>), and pressure drop (Δ<i>P</i>). Subsequently, the PSO algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the BPNN structure, thereby constructing the PSO-BPNN surrogate model. Next, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is employed to obtain the Pareto optimal set, and the TOPSIS with the entropy weight method is used to determine the optimal solution, eliminating subjective preferences in decision-making. The results show that the PSO-BPNN model outperforms the traditional BPNN in prediction accuracy for all three objectives. Compared to the initial structure, the <i>T</i><sub>max</sub> and Δ<i>T</i><sub>max</sub> are reduced by 1.09 °C and 0.41 °C in the optimized structure, respectively, with an increase in Δ<i>P</i> by 21.24 Pa.
