Would tangling do what you want?  Seems to work for me:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+babel: :tangle hens.bib

* heat exchanger network synthesis
*** Rewriting grammar for HENS with splitting (Fraga, 2009)
#+begin_src bib

	title = {A rewriting grammar for heat exchanger network structure evolution with stream splitting},
	volume = 41,
	issn = {{0305-215X}},

Put this in a file, t.org say, and hit =C-c C-v t= (=org-babel-tangle=)
and it should create =hens.bib=.  Sorry for the self-citation here ;-)

You could also put the actual tangle destination on each src block, in
case you want to tangle to more than one file from the same org file.
