Experimental investigations have been carried out to determine the flow regime for air-water two-phase flow through 3 mm and 4 mm transparent tubes by visual observation. The feasibility of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based techniques for the classifications of flow regimes are presented. Total 218 experimental data points are used in the ANN prediction. Five different well known ANN models have been tried to predict the flow regime. The ANN model based on MLP with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm gives slightly better predictability over the other networks used.

Abstract


Experimental investigations have been carried out to determine the flow regime for air-water two-phase flow through 3 mm and 4 mm transparent tubes by visual observation. The feasibility of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based techniques for the classifications of flow regimes are presented. Total 218 experimental data points are used in the ANN prediction. Five different well known ANN models have been tried to predict the flow regime. The ANN model based on MLP with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm gives slightly better predictability over the other networks used.
