TH1 (H) Tmin
Shift cold line to the right until TH1 (H) > TC2(H) for all H
For more than one hot and one cold stream similar approach
T Dependency Energy
T = 0 is not realistic for heat exchanger Infinite area necessary

Steps: Choose Tmin Shift curve until Thot Tcold Tmin at any H. Construct maximal
Process to process heat transfer Hot utility need Cold utility need

Composite curves gives insight. But graphical in inaccurate and time consuming Alternative approaches: Heat Cascade
