NOTE: This assignment should be finished for the next friday 20th november and it will be made by
groups. Suggestion: Develop by hand all points of this assignment thus, it serves as material
of study.
1. According to the information supplied by figure 1, a heat integration should be carried out using
the Pinch methodology. Steam (at 420C) and cooling water (from 15C to 35C) should be used for
supplying the energy requirements. Select the appropriate hot and cold streams (including, inlet
and outlet temperatures, enthalpies and CP 0 s), apply the Pinch methodology and using 4Tmin =

2. Figure 2 shows a process flow diagram for obtaining an organic acid. The Heat Exchanger
Network (HEN) needs to be designed applying the Pinch methodology using 4Tmin = 10K as well
as steam (at 400C) and cooling water (from 30C to 50C) (Use K as unit of temperature). For this

3. (This point will be not evaluated, it is only a suggestion) For the exercise proposed in the
document available in AVATA ”Integracion eneregetica con HINT” try to develop the same problem
using the template created by you in excel and used in the points (a) and (b).
BONUS:
This issue is not mandatory, only who develops completely the solicitated items could have an ad-
ditional score in the final note of third examn. The maximum score is 0.5 which will be sumed in
Using excel you should develop a Macro (interactive spreadsheet) that allows to calculate the fol-
• Obtain composite curves (Procedure should be clear and explained by tables, figures and
equations) (0.1).
• Determine table algorithm and cascade diagram as well as the grand composite curve (0.1).

Mandatory: The document should contain the results (including figures, values, etc.) and analysis
(comparison, error percentage and much more if apply) from a Chemical Engineering point of view.
