1. For Tmin= 10 oC, find pinch temperature and determine

minimum cooling and heating utility.
2. What is the maximum heat recovery potential for this
problem?
3. Calculate percentage savings on cooling and heating
utility.
4. Design heat exchanger network (HEN) to achieve (1)
5. Redraw the process flowsheet to represent HEN in (4)
