The New Pinch Design Method for Heat Exchanger Networks

Abstract:

a new method of locating the pinch is presented for the design of heat exchanger networks. The method is based on the pinch design method for heat exchanger networks which was first introduced by Linnhoff. The method first consider both the heat loss of a hot stream and the heat capacity flowrate of a stream with variation in temperature in the design of heat exchanger networks. Which affect not only minimum utility requirement for heat exchanger network but also the pinch location, choice ofΔTmin
