A fairly linear optimization model for the synthesis of mass exchange networks has been
developed. Superstructure, detailed modeling equations, and solutions of example …

This paper addresses the problem of automatically synthesizing mass-exchange networks in
which the mass of a single (key) component is exchanged between a set of rich streams and …

We present a new method for the synthesis of mass exchanger networks (MENs) involving
packed columns. Simultaneous synthesis of MENs is typically done through the use of mixed …

The paper deals with the synthesis problem of mass exchange networks (MEN's) for waste
minimization by adopting a mathematical programming approach based on the stage-wise …

Several formulations of the transshipment model from Operations Research are proposed
for the optimal synthesis of heat exchanger networks. The linear programming versions are …

This paper discusses a new method for targeting the minimum capital and total costs of
mass exchange networks. This method makes it possible to optimise total cost with respect …

The objective of this paper is to propose a method for synthesizing the optimal mass
exchange network (MEN). In order to synthesize optimal MEN, it is necessary to determine …

The heat exchanger network synthesis problem has been reviewed by Nishida et al.(1981).
We consider the problem with nh hot streams and nc cold streams, each with given flow rate …

The recent advancements in heat exchanger network syn~ thesis provide efficient
thermodynamic methods and pro-gramming methods for generating optimum heat …

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) …
