Abstract One of the most significant considerations in the design of a heat sink is thermal
management due to increasing thermal flux and miniature in size. These heat sinks utilize
plate or pin fins depending upon the required heat dissipation rate. They are designed to
optimize overall performance. Elliptical pin fin heat sinks enhance heat transfer rates and
reduce the pumping power. In this study, the Firefly Algorithm is implemented to optimize
heat sinks with elliptical pin-fins. The pin-fins are arranged in an inline fashion. The natureinspired metaheuristic algorithm performs powerfully and efficiently in solving numerical
global optimization problems. Based on… More >
