“…The primary prerequisite in modeling the neural networks is the availability of a database. Therefore, the experimental data from the following references have been utilized in this work, respectively: Lopez and Kirschbaum (Lopez andCastells, 1999 andKirschbaum, 1962), Proctor (Proctor et al, 1998), Kastanek and Biddulph (Kastanek and Standart, 1967;Biddulph and Dribika, 1986), Rush and Jones (Rush and Stirba, 1957;Jones and Pyle, 1995), Kunesh (Kunesh et al, 1996), Rush (Rush and Stirba, 1957) and Lopez and Yanagi (Kunesh et al, 1996;Yanagi and Sakata, 1982). The physical properties, operating conditions and specifications of the tray geometry are exhibited in Table 1.…”
