A new modeling approach for HEN retrofit design is discussed. The design task consists of a search for topology changes, called the diagnostic stage, followed by an eยฎaluation stage and a cost optimization stage. Promising modifications are selected from the diagnosis stage and assessed in terms of

## Abstract This work describes a systematic procedure to integrate a heat exchanger network (HEN) considering heat and flow exergy consumptions. The flow exergy consumption by the HEN is calculated by means of pressure drop correlation and stepwise optimization. Case studies reveal that the flow e
Results of experimental investigations on the influence of turbulence intensity and pitchto-diameter ratio on heat transfer and pressure drop in single rows of plain tubes are presented. Vertically arranged tubes with 16 different pitch-to-diameter ratios between 1.26 and 5.73 were heated by saturat
## Abstract The experimental results of singleโphase flow heat transfer and pressure drop experiments in the turbulent flow regime in a spirally ribbed tube and a smooth tube are presented in this paper. The ribbed tube has an outside diameter of 22โmm and an inside diameter of 11โmm (an equivalent
