Maximum energy recovery pinch temperatures

Example 16.1 The process stream data for a heat recovery network problem are given in Table 16.1. A problem table analysis on these data reveals that the minimum hot utility requirement for the process is 15 MW and the minimum cold utility requirement is 26 MW for a minimum allowable temperature diflFerence of 20°C. The analysis also reveals that the pinch is located at a temperature of 120°C for hot streams and 100°C for cold streams. Design a heat exchanger network for maximum energy recovery in the minimum number of units. 

Determine the pinch temperatures and the minimum utility requirements for the streams set out in the table below, for a minimum temperature difference between the streams of 20°C. Devise a heat exchanger network to achieve the maximum energy recovery. 

Given the stream data provided in Table 6.3, identify the energy targets and pinch temperatures. Design a HEN that achieves the maximum energy recovery.
