Artificial neural network simulation and sensitivity analysis for optimal thermal transport of magnetic viscous fluid over shrinking wedge via RSM

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to model the important flow response quantities over a shrinking wedge with the help of response surface methodology (RSM) and an artificial neural network (ANN). An ANN simulation for optimal thermal transport of incompressible viscous fluid under the impact of the magnetic effect (MHD) over a shrinking wedge with sensitivity analysis and optimization with RSM has yet not been investigated. This effort is devoted to filling the gap in existing literature. Design/methodology/approach A statistical experimental design is a setup with RSM using a central composite design (CCD). This setup involves the combination of values of input parameters such as porosity, shrinking and magnetic effect. The responses of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are required against each parameter combination of the experimental design, which is computed by solving the simplified form of the governing equations using bvp4c (a built-in technique in MATLAB). An empirical model for Cfx and Nux using RSM and ANN adopting the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm based on trained neural networks (LMA-TNN) is attained. The empirical model for skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number using RSM has 99.96% and 99.99% coefficients of determination, respectively. Findings The values of these matrices show the goodness of fit for these quantities. The authors compared the results obtained from bvp4c, RSM and ANN and found them all to be in good agreement. A sensitivity analysis is performed, which shows that Cfx as well as Nux are most affected by porosity. However, they are least affected by magnetic parameters. Originality/value This study aims to simulate ANN and sensitivity analysis for optimal thermal transport of magnetic viscous fluid over shrinking wedge.

Computational Intelligence Approach for Optimising MHD Casson Ternary Hybrid Nanofluid over the Shrinking Sheet with the Effects of Radiation

“…The ANNs technique is widely adopted by different researchers, for more details see Ref. [44][45][46][47][48]. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no one working on the ternary hybrid nanofluid with ANNs simulation.…”

“…The suggested ternary hybrid nanofluid's LMS-BPNN performance is validated by regression estimation, histogram research, and examination of the MSE values using the 'nftool' command. To run the planned LMS-BPNN, the outcome for velocity and temperature profile for inputs 0 to 5 is widely scattered, and the numerical data-sheet is divided into 80% of training, 10% of validation and 10% of testing data (for details see [42,43,48]).…”
