Cost-Optimal Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis Based on a Flexible Cost Functions Framework

In this article an approach to incorporate a flexible cost functions framework into the cost-optimal design of heat exchanger networks (HENs) is presented. This framework allows the definition of different cost functions for each connection of heat source and sink independent of process stream or ut...
