Optimal Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis via Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract:

On the basis of superstructure of heat exchanger network (HEN), we established a particle swarm optimization (PSO) model of HEN with no splits, with the target of minimizing investment and operation cost. A typical HEN was solved via a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO). Through comparative of the optimization result, we could know that this method could reach better solution accuracy.
