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...

A double-pinch criterion for regenerative Rankine cycles

Zebian, Hussam; Mitsos, Alexander - In: Energy 40 (2012) 1, pp. 258-270

A double-pinch criterion for closed feedwater heaters (FWH) of regenerative Rankine cycles is presented. The FWHs are modeled as counter-current heat exchangers. Thus, two potential pinch positions in the FWH exist: (i) at the exit of the bleed (drain) and (ii) at the onset of condensation. For...
