Abstract
The paper introduces a new iterative sequential method for optimal heat exchanger network synthesis, that relies on an assignment problem. This method considers the splitting of hot and cold process streams, and uses a decomposition that fixes the split fractions for process streams at each subproblem. We apply this method to several heat integration problems to demonstrate its performance and efficiency. It is also compared with stage-wise superstructure optimization using mixed-integer nonlinear programming.
