Synthesis of Heat-Integrated Water Networks: Case Study with Sensitivity Analysis

This work addresses the synthesis of heat-integrated water networks (HIWNs) by using a superstructure optimisation approach. A recently developed mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model and an iterative solution strategy are applied in this work to a case study of HIWN. The objective funct...

description This work addresses the synthesis of heat-integrated water networks (HIWNs) by using a superstructure optimisation approach.

A case study with sensitivity analysis is solved by analysing the impact of freshwater and utility costs on the network design and key performance indicators.
