Pinch Analysis - Isolated Streams (QUICK INPUTS)

src.Source.simulation.Heat_Recovery.convert_pinch_isolated_streams.convert_pinch_isolated_streams(in_var, kb: KB)[source]

Perform Pinch Analysis to isolated streams (QUICK INPUTS).

This routine was developed to easily perform the pinch analysis to isolated streams - streams which are not from the detailed characterization - associated with equipment or processes. The user just needs to provide the properties and schedule of the streams to run this routine. This routine use the main routine of the Pinch Analysis. Return best solutions in minimum CO2 emissions, maximize energy recovery, and energy recovery specific cost, as well as a HTML report.
