Abstract:The heat-integrated air separation column (HIASC) is a highly energy-efficient air separation technology, but its application in industries has been limited due to its complexity and high equipment costs. In this paper, three different HIASC configurations, namely, full internal thermally coupled (F-HIASC), partial internal thermally coupled (P-HIASC), and external thermally coupled (E-HIASC), are designed and optimized to mitigate this complexity. This design correlates F-HIASC and energysaving alternative sc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
