Abstract

An artificial neural networks model to enhance the performance index of mass transfer function in tube flow by means of entry region coil-disc assembly promoter was inserted coaxially is presented in this paper. Popular Backpropagation algorithm was utilized to test, train and normalize the network data to envisage the performance of mass transfer function. The experimental data of the study is separated into two sets one is training sets and second one is validation sets. The 248 sets of the experimental data were used in training and 106 sets for the validation of the artificial neural networks using MATLAB 7.7.0, particularly tool boxes to predict the performance index of the mass transfer in tube for faster convergence and accuracy. The weights were initialized within the range of [–1, 1]. The network limitations in all attempts taken learning rate as 0.10 and momentum term as 0.30. The finest model was selected based on the MSE, STD and R2. In this, network with 5_8_1 configuration is recommended for mass transfer training. This research work reveals that artificial neural networks with adding more number of layers and nodes in hidden layer may not increase the performance of mass transfer function.
