In the past decades, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) has become a promising technology
for low and medium temperature energy utilization. In refineries, there are usually multiple …

A new simultaneous synthesis approach for mass exchange networks (MENs) is presented.
The technique is adapted from the interval based mixed integer non-linear program (MINLP) …

Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a promising technology capable of harnessing low-grade
energy, eg renewable energy and waste heat, and converting it into electricity. Conventional …

Organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) are an established technology to convert waste heat to
electricity. Although several commercial implementations exist, there is still considerable …

Energy integration is a matter of substantial importance in process engineering. Much
attention was given in the last decades, in special, to heat recovery. However, recently …

We solve globally an extension of the isothermal mixing stages model (Synheat) proposed
by Yee and Grossmann, later extended to nonisothermal mixing by Björk and Weterlund …

Mathematical programming using superstructure formulations has been used for cost
efficient heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS) for about three decades now and …
