Targeting and design of CWNs (cooling water networks)

Shenoy, Akshay U.; Shenoy, Uday V. - In: Energy 55 (2013) C, pp. 1033-1043

CWNs (cooling water networks) are targeted and designed in this work by an analytical approach requiring no graphical procedures. The key basis for the approach is the conversion of the cooling duties to equivalent inlet–outlet (demand–source) pairs. The UTA (Unified Targeting Algorithm) is...
