The Evaluation of Combined Heat and Mass Exchanger Network Synthesis using Novel Stage-Wise Superstructure

A novel mass–heat exchange network analogy, regression, and synthesis method for mass exchanger networks

“…Liu et al [ 22 ] modeled the mass exchangers as interceptors and applied linearization, disjunction, and relaxation to establish a formulation for multiple components. Amelia and Siemanond [ 23 ] developed the original SWS to overcome the combined heat and mass exchanger network by using a more accurate formula. In general, these non-convex models are difficult to solve when using combinatorial optimization solvers.…”
