For 40 years, composite curves (CCs) and grid diagram (GD) have been among the most popular graphicaltools for designing optimal heatexchangernetworks (HEN). However, since CCs represent the temperature versus enthalpy plot of composites rather than individual streams, they have some significant lim...
