For the fixed amount of heat transfer, the optimal temperature paths for the MED are obtained The results show that the strategy of the MED with generalized convective law q ∝ (△T)^m is that the temperature difference keeps constant, which is in accordance with the famous temperature-difference-field uniformity principle, while the strategy of the MED with linear phenomenological law q ∝ A(T^-1) is that the temperature ratio keeps constant.
