    Azarian, Mathew; Yu, Hao; Shiferaw, Asmamaw Tadege; Stevik, Tor Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-27)
    Background: Systematic literature review (SLR) is increasingly utilized to maximize the element of rigor and minimize the individual bias of research synthesis. An analysis of the Web of Science (WoS) database indicates that 90% of the literature review studies using SLR have been published between 2012 and 2022. However, this progressive agenda is impaired by the lack of methodological consistency ...

  • Comparing optimization schemes for solving case studies with multiple heat exchangers using high-order pinch point temperature difference methods 

    Brodal, Eivind; Jackson, Steven Richard; Eiksund, Oddmar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-21)
    Heat exchangers (HEs) are often modeled using pinch point temperature difference (ΔT<sub>pinch</sub>) methods when optimizing systems with HEs. However, even small inaccuracies in model predictions of HEs will introduce numerical noise that can cause optimization algorithms to fail. A recent study of single HEs suggests that highorder interpolation methods can compute ΔT<sub>pinch</sub> much faster ...
