Abstract
A new synthesis approach is proposed for a flexible heat exchanger network (HEN) design for chemical processes with operation mode changes. The proposed approach derives an optimal HEN, including heat transfer areas and operation patterns for process streams, which minimizes the total utility cost required for transferring the state of the system's main devices during operation mode changes. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study.
