Objective: To develop a new mathematical model to design a cost effective water and energy network which simultaneously minimizes the fresh water and energy utilization, waste water generation and utility cost to the system using mathematical programming approach considering water management hierarchy, direct and indirect heat transfer.
Problem statement: Given a series of water using processes which have different temperature constraints for various sources and demands, it is desired to design a network which minimizes the use of fresh water, waste water, energy and cost. The system will consider all of the water management hierarchy options, direct and indirect heat transfer to meet the aforesaid objectives using mathematical programming.
