Optimising the size of the heat storage vessel as well as the initial temperature of the heat storage fluid decreased the requirement for external hot utility for an industrial case study by 33% compared to using known parameters.enHeat integratHeat storageMultipurposeMultiproductEnergy optimisationEnergyChemical engineeringModellingSimulationArticleStamp, J., & Majozi, T.
