Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) is a recently developed heuristic algorithm based on the natural phenomenon of teaching-learning process. In the present work, a modified version of the TLBO algorithm is introduced and applied for the multi-objective optimization of heat exchangers. Plate-fin heat exchanger and shell and tube heat exchanger are considered for the optimization. Maximization of heat exchanger effectiveness and minimization of total cost of the exchanger are considered as the objective functions. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. The results of optimization using the modified TLBO are validated by comparing with those obtained by using the genetic algorithm (GA).
