This lecture covers the design of heat exchanger networks, focusing on the trade-off between investment and energy savings. Topics include composite curves, maximum heat recovery, minimum utility, and the impact of the pinch point. The lecture also discusses estimating heat exchanger network cost, the number of units required, and the influence of the minimum temperature difference (DTmin) on the system design.
