For more than three decades, heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis has been primarily
addressed by defining initial structures that embed different design alternatives, and near …

This paper presents a new approach to heat exchanger network (HEN) design making
extensive use of randomization techniques. It is exceedingly simple to implement and gives …

In this work an innovative method for heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis is introduced
and examined. It combines a genetic algorithm (GA) with a heuristic based optimization …

A randomized algorithm with stream splitting for design of heat exchanger networks is
presented in this work. The algorithm has provisions for splitting any one of the process …

The heat exchanger network synthesis problem often leads to large-scale non-convex mixed
integer nonlinear programming formulations that contain many discrete and continuous …

Simultaneous synthesis of heat exchanger network (HEN) is an indispensable strategy to
improve energy efficiency and realize high techno-economic performances. The structural …

Heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis can be formulated as an optimization problem,
which can be solved by meta-heuristics. These approaches account for a large …

This paper proposes an optimization model for heat exchanger network synthesis that
includes a detailed design for each heat exchanger of the network. The model takes into …
