                         optimization of heat exchange area of plate heat exchangers (PHE). 
                         The algorithm is based on the screening method. For each kind of 
                         plate, subject to certain constraints, optimal configurations are 
                         found e in case they exist e which present the lowest number of 
                         plates and, consequently, the smallest area. Each of these found 
                         configurations have local optima characteristics. For all kinds of 
                         plates considered, their respective local optima are determined. 
                         Comparison of all obtained local optima gives a global one. The 
                         differential equations, which are generated in the model 
                         development, are solved analytically. A case study is presented to 
                         test the applicability of the developed algorithm. Results show 
                         coherency with the literature.",
