Heat integration including heat exchangers, combined heat and power, heat pumps, separation processes and process control

This Special issue (SI) of Applied Thermal Engineering presents twenty one selected contributions from the 14th Conference Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction– PRES’11. It benefits from the long-term cooperation between the PRES conferences and the journal. The selected papers cover important subjects: heat exchangers and heat pumps, design of thermal processes, heat integration, combined heat and power (CHP) integration, integration of thermal processes, power systems.
