Practical features such as operating flexibility and capital cost have made the number of sub operations an important parameter of the problem. By treating the direct and indirect heat transfers separately, target freshwater and energy consumption as well as the operation split conditions are first obtained. Subsequently, a mixed integer non-linear programming （MINLP） model is established for the design of water network and the heat exchanger network （HEN）. The proposed systematic approach is limited to a single contaminant. Example from literature is used to illustrate the applicability of the approach.展开更多

A sequence of tests was performed on these models for the two air circulation models （forced and natural） in order to compare their thermal performance. The results are presented in terms of useful energy, stored energy and thermal efficiency of each model.展开更多
