Estimating the Heat Capacity of Non-Newtonian Ionanofluid Systems Using ANN, ANFIS, and SGB Tree Algorithms

Abstract

This work investigated the capability of multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP–ANN), stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) tree, radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF–ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models to determine the heat capacity (Cp) of ionanofluids in terms of the nanoparticle concentration (x) and the critical temperature (Tc), operational temperature (T), acentric factor (ω), and molecular weight (Mw) of pure ionic liquids (ILs). To this end, a comprehensive database of literature reviews was searched. The results of the SGB model were more satisfactory than the other models. Furthermore, an analysis was done to determine the outlying bad data points. It showed that most of the experimental data points were located in a reliable zone for the development of the model. The mean squared error and R2 were 0.00249 and 0.987, 0.0132 and 0.9434, 0.0320 and 0.8754, and 0.0201 and 0.9204 for the SGB, MLP–ANN, ANFIS, and RBF–ANN, respectively. According to this study, the ability of SGB for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids was shown to be greater than other models. By eliminating the need for conducting costly and time-consuming experiments, the SGB strategy showed its superiority compared with experimental measurements. Furthermore, the SGB displayed great generalizability because of the stochastic element. Therefore, it can be highly applicable to unseen conditions. Furthermore, it can help chemical engineers and chemists by providing a model with low parameters that yields satisfactory results for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis showed that Cp is directly related to T, Mw, and Tc, and has an inverse relation with ω and x. Mw and Tc had the highest impact and ω had the lowest impact on Cp.

Developing a Novel Method for Estimating the Speed of Sound in Biodiesel Known as Grey Wolf Optimizer Support Vector Machine Algorithm

“…Another statistical method used in this study is outlier diagnosis. This method is considered a fundamental method applied to determine datasets with different behavior from all data [ 41 , 42 ]. It uses leverage statistical technique to find the outliers having parameters such as standardized residuals ( R ), critical leverage limit ( H ∗ ), and Hat indices ( H ) [ 43 , 44 ].…”

Developing a Robust Model Based on the Gaussian Process Regression Approach to Predict Biodiesel Properties

“…In recent years, a minority of estimated models such as artificial intelligence methods have been executed to evaluate material properties and processes in different applications [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Recently, with extensive development in technology and science, some novel and smart methods are suggested such as GMDH (Group Method of Data Handling), GPR, ANFIS, ANN, and LSSVM; by means of these useful methods, many complex and nonlinear problems can be modelled in many different branches [34][35][36][37][38].…”

Comprehensive Modeling in Predicting Biodiesel Density Using Gaussian Process Regression Approach

“…The lack of sufficient accuracy and difficulties of computations cause more attention in the aforementioned literature. On the other hand, much attention has been paid to artificial intelligence methods to a precise solution in order to model different processes [28][29][30][31][32][33]. One of the things that are crucial for the process design and the same operation is the accuracy of thermophysical properties.…”
