While a superstructure based on the structure in Fig. 16.26 allows for many structural options, it is not comprehensive. Wood, Wilcox, and Grossmanr showed how direct contact heat transfer by mixing at unequal temperatures can be used to decrease the number of units in a heat exchanger network. Floudas, Ciric, and Grossman showed how such features can be included in a heat exchanger network superstructure. Figure 16.27 shows the structure from Fig. 16.26 with possibilities for direct contact heat transfer included. In the...

ALWRs are expected to be deployed ia the United States and ia Asian counties. However, France will use improved versions of standard reactors, considering them to be amply safe and economical. The reactors were modified after the Three-Mile Island-2 (TMI-2) accident. The company Framatome that has built most of the reactors of France is associated with Babcock Wilcox ia the United States. The new Framatome 1500 MWe N4 PWR is an extension of the successful four-loop units of 1300 MWe originally designed by Westiaghouse. Full emphasis is givea to safety, ecoaomy, and rehabiUty. More severe design criteria than those ia the former model have beea adopted.
