Maximizing heat recovery in the heat exchanger network has to be considered as one of basic steps in a process design. Heating and cooling duties not serviced by heat recovery must be provided by external utilities. Simple thermodynamic models of various types of utilities (furnaces, steam boilers, steam turbines, gas turbines) are described in this paper. These models provide us with a tool for the analysis of utilities selection (provided the process heat and power demand are given), enable us to evaluate fuel burnt, power generated, costs for fuel and for exported/imported power and emissions (CO2, SO2) flowrates on a “local” or a “global” basis. This approach is convenient at the targeting stage of a design and can contribute to a substantial energy saving and flue gas emissions reduction.

Summary: Different shapes of individual subjective discount functions were compared using real measures of willingness to accept future monetary outcomes in an experiment. The two-parameter hyperbolic discount function described the data better than three alternative one-parameter discount functions. However, the hyperbolic discount functions did not explain the common difference effect better than the classical discount function. Discount functions were also estimated from survey data of Dutch households who reported their willingness to postpone positive and negative amounts. Future positive amounts were discounted more than future negative amounts and smaller amounts were discounted more than larger amounts. Furthermore, younger people discounted more than older people. Finally, discount functions were used in explaining consumers' willingness to pay for an energy-saving durable good. In this case, the two-parameter discount model could not be estimated and the one-parameter models did not differ significantly in explaining the data.
