Flexibility analysis of multistream heat exchangers
Abstract
A general mathematical model is developed to predict the thermal performance of one-dimensional
flow multistream heat exchangers and their networks with bypass controls. Its analytical solution is successfully
applied to the flexibility analysis of multistream heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks. An example from
literature is given to illustrate the procedure of the flexibility analysis in detail.
