Simultaneous chemical process synthesis and heat integration with unclassified hot/cold process streams

Disjunctive model for the simultaneous optimization and heat integration with unclassified streams and area estimation

Optimal synthesis of heat exchanger networks involving isothermal process streams

This paper proposes a new MINLP model for heat exchanger network synthesis that includes streams with phase change. The model considers every possible combination of process streams that may arise within a chemical process: streams with sensible heat, streams with latent heat, and streams with both latent and sensible heat. As part of the optimization strategy, the superstructure is modeled wit...

Simultaneous optimization and heat integration of chemical processes

A procedure is proposed for simultaneously handling the problem of optimal heat integration while performing the optimization of process flowsheets. The method is based on including a set of constraints into the nonlinear process optimization problem so as to ensure that the minimum utility target for heat recovery networks is featured. These heat integration constraints, which do not require t...
