Heat Transfer and Process Integration 2011-2012 Semester 2 Problem Solving Session 12 - MER Design With Threshold Problems Solutions

The document provides stream data for a chemical process, including temperature and heat capacity flowrate information for 4 streams (2 hot and 2 cold). It also shows the composite curves generated from this data, with a minimum temperature difference (ΔTmin) of 7°C. Based on this information, the hot utility target (QHmin) for the process is 840 kW. The goal is to use the provided data to design an Maximum Energy Recovery (MER) Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) for the process.

Heat Transfer and Process Integration 2011-2012 Semester 2 Problem Solving Session 12 MER Design with Threshold Problems

s Solutions The stream data for a chemical process is given below;


Supply Target Stream No Temperature Temperature & Type (OC) (OC) 1 Hot 2 Hot 3 Cold 4 Cold 180 130 60 30 80 40 100 120 Heat Capacity Flowrate (kW/ OC) 20 40 80 36

The composite curves, with a Tmin of 7OC, are shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 The hot utility target QHmin for the process at this Tmin value is 840 kW. Use the information above to produce an MER (Maximum Energy Recovery) HEN (Heat Exchanger Network).
