In this paper, a feed-forward back-propagation artificial
neural
network (ANN) is proposed to correlate and predict the thermal conductivity
from the triple point temperature up to 0.98 times critical temperature
(T
c) for 23 refrigerants and 11 n-alkanes. It requires the temperature (T) as well as the molecular mass (M), acentric factor
(ω), critical temperature, and critical pressure (P
c) as input variables. The optimal ANN model is obtained
by a trial-and-error procedure and consists of the input layer and
the output layer together with one hidden layer with seven neurons.
This ANN model can not only correlate the thermal conductivity but
also accurately predict the thermal conductivity of refrigerants and n-alkanes. The correlation coefficients (R) in the training and testing phases are 0.9994 and 0.9993, respectively.
Furthermore, the average absolute deviation (AAD) values are less
than 1% for 14 out of 34 fluids, less than 2% for 28 fluids, and less
than 4.5% for all the considered fluids.
A kind of highly transparent Also3 ceramics is fabricated in a way of reducing t i e scattering origins such as the boundary scattering and t i e facies-differenae scattering. Tbe ceramics is a bopeful substitute o f tbe optoelectronic detector windows made of c r y s t d n eA l 2 0 3 witb several advantages such as lower cost, improvement of detecting accuracy and increase of the damage tbreshold etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
