Improved heuristic algorithm for selection of tear streams and precedence ordering in process flowsheeting computations

This paper presents a new algorithm based on the heuristic tearing algorithm by Gundersen and Hertzberg (1983). The basic idea in both the original and the proposed algorithm is sequential tearing of strong components which have been identified by an algorithm proposed by Targan (1972). The new algo...
