Automated multi-stream spiral-wound heat exchanger design and optimization

•A novel optimization framework is proposed for automated multi-stream SWHE design.•Simultaneous optimization of geometries and multi-stream allocation is achieved.•New models are developed for SWHE modelling and validated using Aspen EDR.•SWHEs can achieve 31.8 %–40.7 % reductions in exchanger volu...
