	  abstract     = {In the present paper the design of plate heat exchangers
is formulated as an optimization problem considering two
mathematical modelling. The number of plates is the objective
function to be minimized, considering implicitly some parameters
configuration. Screening is the optimization method used to solve the
problem. Thermal and hydraulic constraints are verified, not viable
solutions are discarded and the method searches for the convergence to
the optimum, case it exists. A case study is presented to test the
applicability of the developed algorithm. Results show coherency with
the literature.
