Synthesis of optimal heat and mass exchange networks using a two-step hybrid approach including detailed unit designs

This PhD thesis develops a methodology for the synthesis of optimal heat and mass exchanger networks through a novel hybrid method. The two-step procedure makes use of simplified exchanger models in a network optimisation step, followed by a detailed design where the exchangers found in the network...
