Description

Taking the vertical U-tube natural circulation steam generator as an example, this paper puts forward the evaluation model of steam generator as well as the improved complex algorithm. The optimization design under the constraint conditions of various thermal performance and geometry construction is carried out. The results show that the optimal weight is 16.44% less than the original, and the volume is 16.3%. The optimization effect is very obvious. (authors)
