Designing a neural network for closed thermosyphon with nanofluid using a genetic algorithm

Heat transfer of a silver/water nanofluid in a two-phase closed thermosyphon that is thermally enhanced by magnetic field has been predicted by an optimized artificial Neural Network. Artificial neural network is a technique with flexible mathematical structure that is capable of identifying complex non-linear relationships between input and output data. A multi-layer perception neural network was used to estimate the thermal efficiency and resistance of a thermosyphon during application of a magnetic field and using nanoparticles in the water as the working fluid. The magnetic field strength,...
