Pinch Analysis and Process Integration

Zusammenfassung Pinch analysis and related techniques are the key to design of inherently energy-efficient plants. This book shows engineers how to understand and optimize energy use in their processes! whether large or small. It includes an introduction to the main concepts of pinch analysis! the calculation of energy targets for a given process! and more.
