In the present study, multi-objective optimization of centrifugal pumps is performed at three steps. At the first step, η and NPSHr in a set of centrifugal pump are numerically investigated using commercial software. Two meta-models based on the evolved group method of data handling (GMDH) type neural networks are obtained, at the second step, for modeling of η and NPSHr with respect to geometr...

In this paper, we propose the design procedure of advanced Polynomial Neural Networks(PNN) architecture fo r optimal model identification of complex and nonlinear system. The proposed PNN architecture is presented as the generic and advanced type. The essence of the design procedure dwells on the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH). PNN is a flexible neural architecture whose structure is deve...

In the present study, multi-objective optimization of 4-digit NACA airfoils is performed at three steps. At the first step, lift (CL) and drag (CD) coefficient in a set of 4-digit NACA airfoils are numerically investigated using commercial software NUMECA. Two meta-models based on the evolved Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type neural networks are obtained, at the second step, for modelin...

This study comprises developing a more appropriate hybrid wavelet-modified GMDH model for forecasting the monthly crude palm oil (CPO) price of Malaysia. In proposed model, complex data CPO is decomposed into different sub series using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and then it has been linked with modified model. Sigmoid, radial basis, tangent polynomial functions are selected as transfer in...

Data Mining (DM) is a relatively recent technology that is employed in inferring useful knowledge that can be put to use from a vast amount of data. This paper presents the data mining processes applied to the seemingly chaotic behavior of stock markets which could be well represented using the enhance GMDH, and we compared its results with published results using neural network, TS fuzzy syste...

Estimation of changes in crop yields is currently based on projections of atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCM) and the use of crop simulators. Crop simulators require daily input of environmental variables. GCMs produce monthly projections of climatic variables. Our objective was to explore the possibility of using monthly weather projections in yield estimates. We considered atmospheri...

In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a tube bank. In this way, the main concern of the study is focused on calculating the most favorable geometric characters which may gain to a maximum heat exchange as well as a m...

In this study, silk fibroin was extracted from cocoons of silkworms and fabricated into nonwoven mats by electrospinning method. A new model based on the group method of data handling (GMDH) and artificial neural network (ANN) was developed for estimation of the average diameter of electrospun silk fibroin nanofibers. In this regard, concentration, flow rate, voltage, distance, and speed of col...
