HENS Unchained: MILP Implementation of Multi-Stage Utilities with Stream Splits, Variable Temperatures and Flow Capacities

In this paper, we present an extended heat exchanger synthesis superstructure (HENS) formulation to consider streams with variable temperatures and flow capacities using mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). To keep the problem tractable and to leverage the potential of state-of-the-art MILP solv...
