SELECTING STREAM SPLITS IN HEAT-EXCHANGER NETWORK DESIGN
The Pinch Design Method identifies when stream splitting is necessary in order to obtain a Minimum Energy Requirement network. The method does not provide any guidance regarding which streams should actually be split and what the split stream flowrates should be. The situation is rectified in this work. A number of CP-matrices are developed. These matrices provide for the systematic development of stream split networks.
