摘要
In this study, the design and thermo-economic assessment of a flat plate solar collector has been explored by considering two scenarios. A conventional flat plate collector (FPC) is selected as the first scenario and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm has been applied to improve the thermal efficiency and total annual cost (TAC) simultaneously. In the second scenario, the constructal concept is implemented for the FPC by considering the same range of variations for the selected decision variables in the conventional FPC. Six design parameters including the system specifications are selected for the conventional FPC and for the constructal FPC in which is analyzed in two parts, hence twelve design parameters are selected for its optimization. The Pareto optimal front is obtained and compared for these two scenarios. In the thermal efficiencies higher than 0.54, the constructal Pareto optimal front is dominated over the results related to the conventional FPC. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
