Learning Outcomes : At the end of this course, students should be able to:
1. Perform targeting exercise to determine the minimum utility requirements and
maximum heat recovery possible for a process using Composite Curve or
Problem Table Algorithm.
2. Design Heat Exchanger Network for achieving Maximum Energy Recovery or
Minimum Total Cost using Pinch Analysis technique.
3. Apply Pinch Analysis Software to perform heat integration and heat exchanger
network design that is cost competitive and taking into account of sustainability
factors.
4. Analyze the potential for heat and power integration of a process and the
possible implementation options, and to screen the options using cost effective
strategy.
5. Perform correct data extraction from process flowsheet for the purpose of
performing pinch analysis.

Important Reminders
1. Cheating, plagiarism and/or other forms of academic dishonesties will NOT be tolerated. Make up test will
only be given in the case of absenteeism based on strong justification and solid proof (e.g. a medical
certificate in the case of illness)
2. Attendance to lecture and tutorial sessions is compulsory. Exemption to classes may be given with solid
reasons. Students with poor attendance (<90%) will be barred from the final exam as per the university
rules and regulations.
