An optimization method of diffusion cooling with two layers porous matrix was presented in this paper.Coolant was injected into the solid matrix under certain differential pressures and characteristic sizes of the porous matrix.With the variation of the porous material
porosity and thickness ratio
the minimum temperature of the hot surface is ultimately subject to cooling optimization when the global constraint conditions of mass and cost
etc
are satisfied.In this paper
the genetic algorithm was used to find the feasible optimization design with the analytical solution of one-dimensional LNTE model.The results show that the porosity of the porous plate close to the coolant reservoir should be as large as possible
but this phenomenon is not correct on the porosity of the porous plate close to the hot surface
its value depends on the balance of effects on the effective thermal conductivity
heat convective coefficient and coolant mass flow rate.
