	Hi, I am designing a heat exchanger network for a threshold problem that requires only cold utility. I tried doing the design using simulated annealing but finding it difficult. Does any one have a better idea of how to generate such design? Regards, Christian.

	What is the cold utility fluid, and what's its temperature? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	The cold utility is cooling water at 25⁰C.

	Congratulations on having a job. So many qualified professionals are out of work today. You are lucky. I'd start with this selection Elementary thermodynamics : Parker, John : Free Download ... and then advance to other texts which are more detailed.

	Maybe I'm just behind the times, but that seems rather jargon-laden. "heat exchanger network"? "threshold problem"? "simulated annealing"? (Yeah, that's an FEA term.) What is the general nature of this HX? Shell/tube, plate/frame, nested coil, other? __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	Isn't that interesting. I give my usual "don't ask us to do your work for you" response and get a GA. You actually try to help the OP and get OT'd. I'll just negate that OT for you.
