چکیده

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) was utilized to develop a new model for the predictionof the kinematic viscosity of petroleum fractions. this model was generated as a function oftemperature (t), normal boiling point temperature (tb), and specific gravity (s). in order to developthe new model, different architectures of feed-forward type were examined. finally, the optimumstructure with three hidden layers was selected. the optimum structure had five, four, and twoneurons in the first, second, and third layers respectively. to prevent over-fitting problem, 70% of theexperimental data were used to train and validate the new model and the remaining data which did notparticipate in learning process was utilized to test the ability of the new model for the prediction of thekinematic viscosity of petroleum fractions. the results showed that the predicted/calculated andexperimental data are in good agreement. the average absolute relative deviation (aard) of the newmodel was 1.3%. finally, the results were compared with an eyring-based model (soltani et al.’swork); it was shown that, based on the reported results by the authors, the accuracy of both modelwere in the same order.

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Prediction of Kinematic Viscosity of Binary Mixture of Poly (Ethylene Glycol) in Water using Artificial Neural Networks

An artificial neural network (ANN) model is presented for the prediction of kinematic viscosity of binary mixtures of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) in water as a function of temperature, number-average molecular weight and mass fraction. Kinematic viscosities data of aqueous solutions for PEG (0.55419×10 – 9.875×10 m2/s) were obtained from the literature for a wide range of temperatures (277.15 ...

Prediction of the deformation modulus of rock masses using Artificial Neural Networks and Regression methods

Static deformation modulus is recognized as one of the most important parameters governing the behavior of rock masses. Predictive models for the mechanical properties of rock masses have been used in rock engineering because direct measurement of the properties is difficult due to time and cost constraints. In this method the deformation modulus is estimated indirectly from classification syst...
