Simultaneous Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks Considering Steam Supply and Various Steam Heater Locations

MINLP synthesis of heat exchanger networks considering pressure drop effects

Considerable research effort has been reported in both Pinch Technology and MINLP techniques for the synthesis of heat exchanger networks. However, most of the design procedures assume constant stream heat transfer coefficients. A problem arises because there is no guarantee that the values of the coefficients assumed during network synthesis are the same as those actually achieved in detailed ...

Synthesis of Heat Exchanger Networks for Controllability

Heat exchanger networks are widely employed in the chemical processing industries to recover energy, resulting in reduced operating costs. Several methodologies can be found in the literature for the design of heat exchanger networks. Typical criteria are maximum energy recovery and minimum heat transfer area. However, the heat integration of process streams can lead to process structures that ...
