Firstly, the constructal design is performed by minimizing the complex function composed of the maximum temperature difference (MTD) and entropy generation rate (EGR), and the influence of the weighting coefficient (a0) on the optimal constructal is studied. Secondly, the multi-objective optimization (MOO) with the MTD and EGR as optimization objectives is performed, and the Pareto frontier with an optimal set is obtained by using NSGA-II. The optimization results are selected from the Pareto frontier through LINMAP, TOPSIS, and Shannon Entropy decision methods, and the deviation indexes of different objectives and decision methods are compared. The research of the quadrilateral HGB shows that the optimal constructal can be gained by minimizing the complex function with the objectives of the MTD and the EGR, the complex function after the constructal design is reduced by up to 2% compared with its initial value, and the complex function of the two reflects the compromise between the maximum thermal resistance and the irreversible loss of heat transfer. The Pareto frontier includes the optimization results of different objectives, and when the weighting coefficient of a complex function changes, the optimization results obtained by minimizing the complex function will also be distributed in the Pareto frontier. The deviation index of the TOPSIS decision method is 0.127, which is the lowest one among the discussed decision methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24101403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,8]],"date-time":"2022-10-08T04:04:56Z","timestamp":1665201896000},"page":"1403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Multi-Objective Constructal Design for Quadrilateral Heat Generation Body with Vein-Shaped High Thermal Conductivity Channel"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Thermal Science and Power Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Green Chemical Equipment, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9012-6736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lingen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Thermal Science and Power Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Green Chemical Equipment, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanlin","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Thermal Science and Power Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Green Chemical Equipment, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuangshuang","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Thermal Science and Power Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Green Chemical Equipment, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huijun","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Thermal Science and Power Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"Hubei Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center of Green Chemical Equipment, Wuhan 430205, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuhan 430205, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bejan, A.
