Abstract
Heat exchanger network synthesis is one of the most extensively studied syntheses
design problem in chemical engineering and is very important for the efficient energy
recovery in production. in this paper suggests a new methodology for synthesis heat
exchanger network for batch processes based on the relation between heat duty and
time, the energy targets and the structure of the initial heat exchanger network can be
used direct heat integration of batch streams.
Two cases are solved to demonstrate the applicability of this approach.
