An improved approach to the design of flexible heat exchanger networks
Errors caused by the use of sensitivity tables may become very large in some cases because of the tables' total disregard of nonlinearities and interaction effects. We introduce a new and improved approach which calculates the effect of disturbances simultaneously by solving a set of linear equations. The approach offers simplicity, speed, insight and accuracy.
