Title
The sequential framework for heat exchanger network synthesis—The minimum number of units sub-problem
Abstract
An overview of an iterative and sequential methodology, called the Sequential Framework for heat exchanger network synthesis (HENS), is presented in the paper. The main objective of the Sequential Framework is to solve industrial size problems. The subtasks of the design process are solved sequentially using mathematical programming. There are two main advantages of the methodology. First, the design procedure is, to a large extent, automated while keeping significant user interaction. Second, the subtasks of the framework (MILP and NLP problems) are much easier to solve numerically than the MINLP models that have been suggested for HENS.
