The synthesis of heat recovery networks traditionally results in an optimal or suboptimal
solution for the supplied set of streams and simplifying assumptions. In the current work, the …

Heat exchanger networks in real industrial processes often have to be designed for varying
parameters of the process streams that renders multiperiod heat exchanger network …

Heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS) is one of the most extensively studied
synthesis/design problem in chemical engineering. This is attributed to the importance of …

This paper presents a general mathematical optimization model and the related
deterministic algorithm for synthesizing heat-exchanger networks (HEN). The methodologies …

In this work, a new superstructure for simultaneous synthesis of work and heat exchange
networks (WHEN) is presented. In the proposed model, an explicit modeling of the identity …

Abstract Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis is a process engineering problem that
can be mathematically characterized as highly combinatory, non-linear and non-convex. All …

Most of the grassroot heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis approaches decompose the
synthesis problem into a series of three major tasks:(a) minimum utility cost calculation;(b) …

The simultaneous heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis optimization problem is
generally formulated as a mixed integer non-linear program (MINLP) by using the concept of …
