Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis (HENS) plays a major role for effective energy integration in chemical process plants. In HENS, several hot and cold streams and utilities with specific inlet and desired outlet temperatures are involved. Stream Temperature versus Enthalpy Plot (STEP) is new graphica...
