Composite Curve

The document provides stream data for a process in a table, including temperature values for hot and cold streams. It asks to sketch composite curves for the streams with a minimum temperature difference (ΔTmin) of 10°C and determine the minimum hot and cold utility targets. The response sketches the composite curves, showing that the hot utility minimum (QHmin) is 5 MW occurring at 160°C, and the cold utility minimum (Qcmin) is 8.3 MW occurring at 150°C.
