The document discusses heat exchanger network design and stream splitting to address unequal numbers of hot and cold streams above and below the pinch point. When the number of hot streams is larger than cold streams above the pinch, a cold stream can be split. When the number of hot streams is smaller than cold streams below the pinch, a hot stream can be split. Threshold problems occur when streams only require hot or cold utilities rather than both. Adding additional utilities can turn threshold problems into pinched problems. Two exercises are provided to design maximum energy recovery networks with specified minimum temperature differences.

UNEQUAL NUMBER OF STREAMS
AT THE PINCH: Above Pinch
 If the number of hot streams is larger than the number
of cold streams, then no pinch matches are possible.

Infeasible match

What do we do?
Above Pinch: Split a cold stream
 Split cold stream until the inequality is satisfied.

Threshold Problems

RABIATUL ADAWIYAH ABDOL AZIZ FKK, UiTM SHAH ALAM 2018


Required CW & Steam Threshold Problems

When they just need either hot or


cold utility, but not both.

Pinched Problems

Threshold problem are turned into


pinched problem when additional
utilities are added.
Exercise 1:
Design a maximum energy recovery network.
ΔTmin = 7°C
Exercise 2:
Design a maximum energy recovery network.
ΔTmin = 50°C
