In this paper, the flexible synthesis problem for heat exchanger network(HEN) is formulated to a mixed integer nonlinear program(MINLP) model. The objection function of the model consists of two components: First, a candidate HEN structure has to satisfy flexible criterion during input span. Second, a minimized annual cost consisting of investment cost and operating cost is investigated. The solution strategy based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal solution of the presented model. Finally, a four streams example is investigated to show the advantage of the whole proposed optimization approach.

On the basis of superstructure of heat exchanger network (HEN), we established a particle swarm optimization (PSO) model of HEN with no splits, with the target of minimizing investment and operation cost. A typical HEN was solved via a modified particle swarm optimization (PSO). Through comparative of the optimization result, we could know that this method could reach better solution accuracy.

Heat exchanger network synthesis has been one of the most popular subjects in process design over the last 50 years. Various studies and optimization techniques have been proposed for designing optimal network with minimum total annual cost. Simultaneous synthesis approach via mathematical programming aims to find the optimal network without decomposition, which has been paid more attentions on the research recently. However, these methods might be not solvable or inefficient for large-scale problems. This paper makes an attempt to construct simultaneous synthesis model with split streams and to develop an efficient optimization framework based on particle swarm optimization for large-scale heat exchanger network synthesis problems. One example including 20 process streams is solved to give an illustration of the method.

Swarm Intelligence algorithms like PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization), ACO (Ant Colony Optimization), ABC (Artificial Bee Colony), Glow-worm swarm Optimization, etc. have been utilized by researchers for solving optimization problems. This work presents the application of a novel modified EHO (Elephant Herding Optimization) for cost optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger. A comparison of the results obtained by EHO in two benchmark problems shows that it is superior to those obtained with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. The overall cost reduction is 13.3 % and 9.68% for both the benchmark problem compared to PSO. Results indicate that EHO can be effectively utilized for solving real-life optimization problems.

Abstract Owing to the wide utilization of shell and tube heat exchangers (STHEs) in industrial processes, their cost minimization is an important target for both designers and users. Traditional design approaches are based on iterative procedures which gradually change the design and geometric parameters until satisfying a given heat duty and set of geometric and operational constraints. Although well proven, this kind of approach is time-consuming and may not lead to cost-effective design. The present study explores the use of non-traditional optimization technique called hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO), for design optimization of STHEs from economic point of view. The PSO applies for global optimization and ant colony approach is employed to update positions of particles to attain rapidly the feasible solution space. ACO works as a local search, wherein ants apply pheromone-guided mechanism to update the positions found by the particles in the earlier stage. The optimization procedure involves the selection of the major geometric parameters such as tube diameters, tube length, baffle spacing, number of tube passes, tube layout, type of head, baffle cut, etc. and minimization of total annual cost is considered as design target. The methodology takes into account the geometric and operational constraints typically recommended by design codes. Three different case studies are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of proposed algorithm. The examples analyzed show that the hybrid PSO and ACO algorithm provides a valuable tool for optimal design of heat exchanger. The hybrid PSO and ACO approach is able to reduce the total cost of heat exchanger as compare to cost obtained by previously reported genetic algorithm (GA) approach. The result comparisons with particle swarm optimizer and other optimization algorithms (GA) demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented method.
