AquoMin: Targeting and Design of Mass-Exchange Networks featuring Regeneration Recycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study addresses the design of Mass Exchange Networks (MEN) featuring regeneration recycle. AquoMin is a friendly-user software based on Pinch Analysis and Mathematical Programming. It has been improved to include a new module dealing with the regeneration recycle strategy. A general algorithm was built to obtain the targets of this strategy. An Example Problem is used to evaluate the results of the different strategies that can be employed to minimise water and wastewater flowrates. A trade-off between regeneration flowrate and concentration was achieved for the present strategy, leading to a regeneration flowrate reduction of 16% and an increase of 17% in inlet concentration of the regeneration process.

Using Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms for Modelling and Multi-objective Optimal Heat Exchange through a Tube Bank
In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a tube bank. In this way, the main concern of the study is focused on calculating the most favorable geometric characters which may gain to a maximum heat exchange as well as a m...

This paper introduces a non-iterative algorithmic procedure to design water utilization networks in re"neries and process plants. The procedure is based on necessary and su$cient conditions of optimality that allow the construction of a global optimal solution without the need or a targeting procedure. In addition, the steps of this procedure are such that it can be implemented by hand and have...
