Nv. Kuzichkin et Vk. Viktorov, A THERMODYNAMIC EURISTIC METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF OPTIMAL THERMAL-SYSTEMS, Theoretical foundations of chemical engineering, 32(6), 1998, pp. 577-581
A method for the synthesis of optimal thermal systems by sequential co
mbinatorial trial of two thermodynamic euristic criteria has been deve
loped, offering a rapid procedure that ensures the obtaining of soluti
ons close to the exact one. Using this method, it is possible to synth
esize systems having variable heat transfer coefficients and those bas
ed on the standard heat exchangers chosen from a manufacturer catalog.
