Abstract
The present paper presents a systematic design procedure for iHIDiCs. A design hierarchy for iHIDiCs is developed, which includes two phases of design, thermodynamic and hydraulics. This design procedure is applied using commercial simulation-based design methods. In thermodynamic design, temperature profiles for column sections are used as a design tool to guide designers. On the other hand, hydraulic capacities of stages for heat exchange are analyzed to determine the maximum physical space area available for heat exchange. Hence, feasibility regions for both heat integration and hydraulic design are identified.
