Retrofit heat exchanger network (HEN) optimization is a fundamentally unique problem
which requires the consideration of existing structures, compared to grassroots design …

Amidst the global effort in energy transition from fossil fuel remains a challenge for the
heavily dependent oil and gas (O&G) industry. Thus, the circular economy (CE) concept …

In industrial processes, the stream parameters of the heat exchanger network (HEN)
synthesis problem can vary during different periods. As a result of the change in inlet and …

In the midst of a climate crisis, alternative and low-carbon energy resources must be put to
scale in order to achieve carbon emission reductions in the coming decades. In this respect …

The ability and capability to analyze and benchmark alternative designs on top of the
optimal network are deemed valuable competencies for current and future chemical …

The growing demand and prices of fuel promote the development of technologies to improve
the production process of biofuels. The energy integration in sugarcane biorefineries …

Traditional open circulating cooling water systems use a lot of water and electricity to
remove waste heat. In coastal areas, closed seawater circulating cooling water systems …

This paper proposes a flexible heat exchanger network model for multiple factories and
