In this paper, a new optimization algorithm called bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) is proposed for simulation of the radial heat distribution. A BFOA discloses a simulation method which delivers the exact temperature distribution in a circularly cylindrical structure with a circularly symmetrical, longitudinally, and transversally non-uniform heat source distribution and circularly symmetrical cooling means. The output power is obtained and compared with previously published experimental measurements for different pump power and a good agreement has been found.
