The importance of control considerations for heat exchanger network synthesis: a case study

Cost optimization in the synthesis decision tree often leads to a reduced degree of freedom which degrades the process’s ability to reject disturbances as a consequence of low controllability. In fact, Heat Exchanger Networks (HENs) obtained by traditional synthesis procedures that ignore c...
