Triple objective optimum design of a two-column radiator of central heating

Abstract The paper descirbes an optimum design method of a two-column radiator of central heating with the given structure based on heating capacity per unit mass, building depth and heating capacity per unit length. The optimization problem is reduced to finding the maximum of the scales function in a 8-dimensional space bounded by 7 heating, stress and design inequality constraints and one/two special constraints for double/single-objective optimization problem, respectively. In a numerical example, the existing radiator has been optimized and the polyoptimum-preferred design has been selected.
