An Integrated AI System for Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis

摘要

An intelligent system combing Hopfield neural network(HNN) and Expert system(ES) is presented for heat exchanger netwrok synthesis(HENS). The HNN model is built up for optimal computation. With the aid of ES, not only the qualitative process rules can be considered, but the fast search speed and global optimum solution are guaranteed. The case study shows the efficiency of the system.
