Abstract
This study presents three new methods for superstructure synthesis of heat exchanger networks (HENs) and mass exchanger networks (MENs) that involve the use of key parameters in HEN and MEN to define superstructure intervals. The key parameters are the stream supply and target temperatures/compositions. The Supply-Based Superstructure (SBS) uses the supply temperatures/compositions of both the hot/rich streams and the cold lean streams. The Supply and Target-Based Superstructure (S&TBS) uses the supply temperatures/compositions of hot/rich streams and the target temperatures/compositions of cold/lean streams for the definition of the superstructure intervals. The Target and Supply-Based Superstructure (T&SBS) uses the target temperatures/compositions of hot/rich streams and the supply temperatures/compositions of cold/lean streams for the definition of the superstructure interval boundaries.
