In this paper, a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is presented which
can generate networks where utility cost, exchanger areas and selection of matches are …

In this paper, a simple yet general superstructure for heat integration is presented. The
superstructure is a stage-wise representation where within each stage exchanges of heat …

This paper addresses the problem of automatically generating heat exchanger network
configurations that feature minimum investment cost subject to minimum utility cost and …

In this paper, a new global optimization approach for the synthesis of heat exchanger
networks is presented. The Synheat model by [Comp. Chem. Eng. 1 (1990) 1165] uses a …

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) …

This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing heat exchanger networks that have the
flexibility of coping with prespecified changes in flow rates, inlet temperatures and outlet …

This paper formulates the minimum utility calculation for a heat exchanger network synthesis
as a “transportation problem” from linear programming, allowing one to develop an effective …

Current grassroot heat exchanger network design techniques involve a three-task
procedure:(a) calculation of the minimum utility consumption;(b) selection of a set of process …

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 …

Heat exchanger network optimization is a standard problem in process design. Various
mathematical models and heuristics have been developed to help the designer in …
