This session is the first part of an introductory course on heat integration or pinch method.
It presents the basic concepts of heat integration (pinch, composites, algorithm for minimizing the pinch).
Session IT2En presents in details a practical example of this method, with the design of the heat exchanger network.
(Session realized on 01/09/11 by Renaud Gicquel)This session allowed us to present the basic concepts of heat integration.
The design of a heat exchanger network will be presented in session IT2En.
