The design of intensified systems remains an “Edisonian” effort, whereby new intensification schemes are the product of creativity rather than the result of applying systematic procedures. Under this motivation, this article presents a novel and systematic approach for identifying targets for thermal process intensification, defined as combining two or more heat sources and sinks present in a process flowsheet, possibly along with a thermal utility stream, in a single intensified device where heat exchange takes place. The targeting problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program. An extensive case study illustrating its application is presented. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2017

像捏一样的目标框架，可进行系统的热过程强化

强化系统的设计仍然是“爱迪生主义”的努力，新的强化方案是创造力的产物，而不是应用系统程序的结果。在这种动机下，本文提出了一种新颖而系统的方法，用于确定热过程强化的目标，该方法定义为在单个强化设备中将过程流程图中可能存在的两个或多个热源和热源以及热效用流组合在一起。进行热交换。定位问题被公式化为混合整数线性程序。提供了一个广泛的案例研究，说明了其应用。©2017美国化学工程师学会AIChE J，2017
