By using the diagram made in exercise a) and moving the cold curve towards the hot we can
see that:
• Q̇hot, min = 0, for 0 ≤ ∆Tmin ≤ 10
• Q̇hot, min varies linearly for 10 < ∆Tmin ≤ 60
• Q̇hot, min = 300, for ∆Tmin > 60

2 Composite curves
a)
hot composite curve
First we have to find the temperature intervals where a hot stream starts or ends. Then we have
to determine which streams are available in each of the intervals and calculate the available
heat in each interval.

180–140 1 3.5 3.5 · (180 − 140) = 140
140–60 1,2 3.5 + 1.5 = 5.0 5.0 · (140 − 60) = 400
