Pinch Analysis involves an analysis of the potential maximum heat recovery for a process.
True
False
The minimum approach temperature difference (DTmin) between composite curves influences the heat transfer area, and the operating cost of a process.
True
False
The DTmin should be as small as possible to ensure that energy saving can be maximised and to maintain an overall process profitability.
True
False
The sum of heat excess (heat surplus) minus sum of heat demands equals the minimum energy targets for a process.
True
False
The shifted temperature interval is used to factor in energy losses from hot and cold composites
True
False
Setting the minimum energy target using Problem Table Analysis (PTA) is a process getting the overall sum of net enthalpies throughout temperature intervals.
True
False
In the PTA, a negative heat flow across temperature intervals will give the hot utility target.
True
False
If there exist energy surplus at a lower temperature interval, it is good to use it to satisfy energy demand at a higher temperature interval.
True
False
Heat can be transferred from low temperature to a high temperature, with the aid of energy.
True
False
Knowing the Pinch Point allows engineers to identify if there are suboptimal heat exchange within a process.
