Consider the process flowsheet in Figure 11.59 where the duties required for each heat exchanger are in MW, and the source and target stream temperatures are:

(a) The flowsheet calls for \(990 \mathrm{MW}\) to be removed by cooling water and \(750 \mathrm{MW}\) to be provided by steam. It is suspected that this design does not meet MER targets for \(\Delta T_{\text {min }}=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Verify or refute this suspicion.

(b) If verified, design a HEN to meet MER targets for \(\Delta T_{\min }=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
