A systematic design methodology is developed in this work for simultaneously synthesizing
the multi-contaminant water-allocation and heat exchange network (WAHEN) in any …

In this work, we address the problem of optimizing corn‐based bioethanol plants through the
use of heat integration and mathematical programming techniques. The goal is to reduce the …

Heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS) has been one of the most-studied problems in
process synthesis. Nevertheless, the complexity of the HENS problem provides enough …

In this paper a new version of the Outer Approximation for Global Optimization Algorithm by
Bergamini et al.[Bergamini, ML, Aguirre, P., & Grossmann, IE (2005a). Logic based outer …

This paper proposes a new MINLP model for heat exchanger network synthesis that
includes streams with phase change. The model considers every possible combination of …

This paper presents a new approach for the simultaneous synthesis and optimization of heat
integrated water networks. A new superstructure for heat exchanger network (HEN) …

continuous functions: I: Univariate functions. J. Global Optim.(2008). doi: 10.007/s10898-008 …

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 …

An interval-based mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP) superstructure model for the
synthesis of heat exchange networks (HENs) is presented. The intervals of the …

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) …
