A minimum rule (MR) is developed for use as a tool in the synthesis of a process-to-process
(PTP) heat exchanger network (HEN) to achieve optimal heat exchange. The rule uses the …

Two aspects of the existing minimum rule (MR) are used in the optimization of heat
exchange networks (HENs). One aspect is to use the minimum of the algebraic quantities Ω1 …

In industrial processes, the stream parameters of the heat exchanger network (HEN)
synthesis problem can vary during different periods. As a result of the change in inlet and …

Heat exchanger networks (HENs) play a significant role in the energy conservation of any
process industry. The HENs are used to maximize heat recovery by exchanging heat …

This paper presents a systematic synthesis method that considers multiple shells and
logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) FT correction factor for heat exchanger …

The application of a single temperature approach in the synthesis of optimal heat exchanger
networks was the fundamental assumption of many solution methods developed to date …

This paper presents a methodology for carrying out both the synthesis and the optimization
of heat exchanger networks (HEN) based on a genetic algorithm (GA) technique. The …

The rapid development of computational technology and the increasing energy demand
have improved heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis. The HEN synthesis involves …

In the industry, there are frequently prohibited and restricted matches in the Heat Exchanger
Networks (HENs). These matches could cause risk cost when failures happen. Some …

The synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs) has mainly been done through the use of
approximate models for each of the individual heat exchangers that comprises the network …
