A Hybrid Metaheuristic–Deterministic Optimization Strategy for Waste Heat Recovery in Industrial Plants

“…This is due to temperature differences and film heat transfer coefficients between process streams. Furthermore, in the industry, there is a large versatility of heat exchangers that range in size from small (0.1 m 2 ) to supergiant (over 10 5 m 2 ) …”

Optimization of Flow Rate Distribution in a Crude Oil Preheat Train Considering Fouling Deposition in Shell and Tube Sides

“…The heat exchanger equations are written according to the P-NTU method, which is similar to the ϵ-NTU method, but it does not depend on the effectiveness factor. In this paper, the equations are described in relation to the hot stream.…”

An Overall Velocity Distribution and Optimization Method for Crude Oil Fouling Mitigation in Heat Exchanger Networks

“…The total pressure drop for the tube side of a heat exchanger (ΔPf) consisting of three parts can be calculated by eq . where ΔPs ex, n , ΔPl ex, n , and ΔPn ex, n represent straight pipe resistance, local resistance, and nozzle resistance. The three resistances can be calculated by eqs – where ξ is the friction coefficient, which can be calculated by eq , proposed by Gu . The subscript ex means heat exchanger, L is the length of tubes, N is the number of tube passes, and ζ in eq is the local resistance coefficient; it has a value of 3–4 for multiple tube passes, while it equals 2 for a single tube pass.…”
