Optimization of Velocity in Heat Exchanger Networks for Fouling Mitigation

Fouling severely reduces energy recovery in heat exchanger network (HEN). Low velocity and high wall temperature are the reasons for a high fouling rate. Redistribution of velocity for the exchangers in the network is an efficient way to mitigate fouling. In this work, optimizing the velocity distri...
