Hello,

I would like to find a free program that can do a pinch target (minimum energy) analysis- preferably excel based. Something simple taking as input: stream inlet & outlet temp and duty, and dTmin; and giving minumum hot and cold utility duty use as output.

Can anyone direct me to such a tool?

best wishes,
sshep
