Mathematical Techniques for the Synthesis of Heat-Exchange Networks

Chapter 7, Heat Integration, provided graphical and algebraic procedures for the synthesis of heat-exchange networks (HENs). This chapter presents a mathematical-programming approach to the synthesis of HENs. First, the HEN formulation will be presented and solved to attain minimum heating and cooling utility cost and selecting the optimum utilities. Next, a formulation is presented to synthesize a network of heat exchangers that can meet the minimum utility targets. The optimization formulations in this chapter are based on the transshipment formulation of Papoulias and Grossmann. Numerous other methods have been developed for the synthesis of HENs. These methods have been reviewed by Smith, Luo et al., Klemes and Kravanja, Klemes, Noureldin, Rossiter, Majozi, Kemp, Ponce-Ortega et al., Al-Thubaiti et al., Furman and Sahinidis, Shenoy, Linnhoff, and Gundersen and Naess.
