Pinch Analysis Calculations for Heat Integration Using MATLAB Software

Abstract

Pinch Analysis (PA) is used as a powerful tool for targeting and synthesis of heat and mass exchange networks. PA for solving includes extended and complex operation although having a simple concept. According to this matter, need for creating a PA software is clear hence famous an American and European cooperation introduce extensive and powerful software by applying advanced programming language and visual software after a just short period of time, since PA was known. According to this matter that MATLAB software includes most of mathematical function and have an easy programming interface, this software know a days, is widely used by most of engineering and science field. Consequently, by editing the PA operation in MATLAB editor interface, minimum energy requir, optimum network area, optimum minimum temperature difference and total annual cost in the minimum short time will be reached. The result record can compete with the existing softwares. In the paper, the program ability by means of aromatic stream will be presented
