1) Use the Transhipment model to obtain networks. (HRAT=10
o
C)
2) Use the Stages model to obtain a heat exchanger network.
- Vary the ratio of the cost of energy to the cost of exchangers to obtain
different networks.
- Vary the value of EMAT and see what the effect is.
- Add the area equations and run the model without any initial values.
- Try using the results of the model without areas as initial point to see if
different results are obtained.
