The Sequential Framework For Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis – Network Generation And Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Sequential Framework for Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis (HENS) is presented. The network generation and optimization phase of the framework, one of its core subproblems, is presented with details as to the source of the non-convexities in the model. Physical insight based automated starting value generators are developed to ensure that the base NLP formulation solves to a ‘good’ local optimum. Two methods of dealing with the non-convexities are also briefly presented.

This paper presents a simple methodology for cost estimation of a near optimal heat exchanger network, which comprises mixed materials of construction. Intraditional pinch technology and mathematical programming it is usually assumed that all heat exchangers in a network obey a single cost model. This implies that all heat exchangers in a network are of the same type and use the same mate...
