Preface

Thermal energy is one of the most important sources of energy driving processes in industrial plants, and one of the key engineering outcomes is often effective heat integration and energy recovery between process streams. It is critical for engineers and related professionals to master the technique of designing optimal heat exchanger networks that achieve maximum energy conservation, while not compromising on desired production objectives. This pocket guide serves as a supplementary learning resource that will help students deconstruct some of the most challenging problems encountered in the topic of Heat Exchanger Networks. The practice problems in this book were carefully selected to represent the most commonly encountered problems found in tests and examinations. With the comprehensive worked solutions and detailed explanations provided for each problem, students will be able to closely follow the thought process of problem-solving from start to finish, thereby hone their skills in applying abstract theoretical concepts to solving practical problems which is critical for acing examinations. The mix of both numerical and open-ended problems included in this book
