In this forward-looking perspective, the current technologies for low-temperature waste heat
recovery are first analyzed from two aspects:(i) the local waste heat recovery technology and …

Aiming for more energetically efficient and sustainable solutions, academic attention to work
and heat integration (WHI) has grown in the last decade. Simultaneous models for work and …

Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) synthesis is an important field of study in process
engineering. However, obtaining optimal HEN design is a complex task. When …

Abstract The extension from Heat Integration (HI) and design of Heat Exchanger Networks
(HENs) to including heating and cooling effects from pressure changing equipment has …

Several methods for heat exchanger networks (HEN) design are based on the use of
superstructures. The models they give rise to can lead to different design options to be …

Research on heat integration has made significant advances in reducing utility consumption
in chemical plants. However, the idea of work exchange between high and low-pressure …

The integration of heat has achieved a notable success in the past decades. Pinch Analysis
is a well-established methodology for heat integration. Work is an equally important …

Heat exchange networks and work-heat exchange networks have been effective manners
for energy integration. However, the utility system is only considered at the end of streams in …

The optimal integration of work and its interaction with heat can represent large energy
savings in industrial plants. This paper introduces a new optimization model for the …
