Performance prediction of magnetorheological fluid‐based liquid gating membrane by kriging machine learning method

Abstract

Smart liquid gating membrane is a responsive structural material as a pressure-driven system that consists of solid membrane and dynamic liquid, responding to the external field. An accurate prediction of rheological and mechanical properties is important for the designs of liquid gating membranes for various applications. However, high predicted accuracy by the traditional sequential method requires a large amount of experimental data, which is not practical in some situations. To conquer these problems, artificial intelligence has promoted the rapid development of material science in recent years, bringing hope to solve these challenges. Here we propose a Kriging machine learning model with an active candidate region, which can be smartly updated by an expected improvement probability method to increase the local accuracy near the most sensitive search region, to predict the mechanical and rheological performance of liquid gating system with an active minimal size of experimental data. Besides this, this new machine learning model can instruct our experiments with optimal size. The methods are then verified by liquid gating membrane with magnetorheological fluids, which would be of wide

Energy saving thermal adaptive liquid gating system

“…According to the theory of heat transfer, heat transfer efficiency relates to the effective contact area only when the total heat energy is constant, 47 which indicates that the optimal use-area ratio can be generally suitable for any structural greenhouse. Therefore, to take a commercial dome-structured greenhouse as an example, 28 analysis and simulations, 48 including thermal, laminar fluid, and solar radiation of this greenhouse with the TA system patch or traditional insulation materials for 24 h, are conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, as shown in Figure 4 C (left) ( Note S5 ). Convective mass transfer, heat transfer of conduction, and radiation occur in all three systems.…”

“…Inspired by the inherent structure and performance of biological ion channels, − various artificial solid-state nanofluidic devices have been constructed to understand the potential mechanisms of ion transport in nanoconfined spaces − and explore potential applications in biosensing, − energy conversion, − and water purification for sustainable ecosystems. − Among them, the artificial nanofluidic devices with ion-selective functions have attracted widespread attention owing to their promising application prospects. − For instance, Geim’s group has developed a series of two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic devices with layered materials, such as exfoliated graphene, molybdenum disulfide, and hexagonal boron nitride, and realized selective ion transport with the role of steric exclusion effects. − However, the fabrication process for the 2D devices is burdensome and difficult to scale up. Therefore, it is highly demanded to explore an effective method to construct a favorable nanofluidic device for selective ion transport.…”
