Analysis of heat transmission in convective, radiative and moving rod with thermal conductivity using meta-heuristic-driven soft computing technique

ABSTRACT

The present study analyzes the thermal attribute of conductive, convective, and radiative moving fin with thermal conductivity and constant velocity. The basic Darcy's model is utilized to formulate the governing equation for the problem, which is further nondimensionalized using certain variables. Moreover, an effective soft computing paradigm based on the approximating ability of the feedforword artificial neural networks (FANN's) and meta-heuristic approach of global and local search optimization techniques is developed to quantify the effect of variations in significant parameters such as ambient temperature, radiation-conduction number, Peclet number, nonconstant thermal conductivity, and initial temperature parameter on the temperature gradient of the rod. The results by the proposed FANN-AOA-SQP algorithm are compared with radial basis function approximation, Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method and machine-learning algorithms. An extensive graphical and statistical analysis based on solution curves and errors such as absolute errors, mean square error, standard deviations in Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, mean absolute deviations, and Theil's inequality coefficient are performed to show the accuracy, ease of implementation, and robustness of the design scheme.

On the Computational Study of a Fully Wetted Longitudinal Porous Heat Exchanger Using a Machine Learning Approach

The present study concerns the modeling of the thermal behavior of a porous longitudinal fin under fully wetted conditions with linear, quadratic, and exponential thermal conductivities surrounded by environments that are convective, conductive, and radiative. Porous fins are widely used in various engineering and everyday life applications. The Darcy model was used to formulate the governing non-linear singular differential equation for the heat transfer phenomenon in the fin. The universal approximation power of multilayer perceptron artificial neural networks (ANN) was applied to establish a model of approximate solutions for the singular non-linear boundary value problem. The optimization strategy of a sports-inspired meta-heuristic paradigm, the Tiki-Taka algorithm (TTA) with sequential quadratic programming (SQP), was utilized to determine the thermal performance and the effective use of fins for diverse values of physical parameters, such as parameter for the moist porous medium, dimensionless ambient temperature, radiation coefficient, power index, in-homogeneity index, convection coefficient, and dimensionless temperature. The results of the designed ANN-TTA-SQP algorithm were validated by comparison with state-of-the-art techniques, including the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), cuckoo search algorithm (CSA), grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and machine learning algorithms. The percentage of absolute errors and the mean square error in the solutions of the proposed technique were found to lie between 10-4 to 10-5 and 10-8 to 10-10, respectively. A comprehensive study of graphs, statistics of the solutions, and errors demonstrated that the proposed scheme's results were accurate, stable, and reliable. It was concluded that the pace at which heat is transferred from the surface of the fin to the surrounding environment increases in proportion to the degree to which the wet porosity parameter is increased. At the same time, inverse behavior was observed for increase in the power index. The results obtained may support the structural design of thermally effective cooling methods for various electronic consumer devices.

Heat Transfer Analysis of Nanofluid Flow in a Rotating System with Magnetic Field Using an Intelligent Strength Stochastic-Driven Approach

This paper investigates the heat transfer of two-phase nanofluid flow between horizontal plates in a rotating system with a magnetic field and external forces. The basic continuity and momentum equations are considered to formulate the governing mathematical model of the problem. Furthermore, certain similarity transformations are used to reduce a governing system of non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs) into a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations. Moreover, an efficient stochastic technique based on feed-forward neural networks (FFNNs) with a back-propagated Levenberg–Marquardt (BLM) algorithm is developed to examine the effect of variations in various parameters on velocity, gravitational acceleration, temperature, and concentration profiles of the nanofluid. To validate the accuracy, efficiency, and computational complexity of the FFNN–BLM algorithm, different performance functions are defined based on mean absolute deviations (MAD), error in Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (ENSE), and Theil’s inequality coefficient (TIC). The approximate solutions achieved by the proposed technique are validated by comparing with the least square method (LSM), machine learning algorithms such as NARX-LM, and numerical solutions by the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method (RKFM). The results demonstrate that the mean percentage error in our solutions and values of ENSE, TIC, and MAD is almost zero, showing the design algorithm’s robustness and correctness.

Study of Rolling Motion of Ships in Random Beam Seas with Nonlinear Restoring Moment and Damping Effects Using Neuroevolutionary Technique

In this paper, a mathematical model for the rolling motion of ships in random beam seas has been investigated. The ships’ steady-state rolling motion with a nonlinear restoring moment and damping effect is modeled by the nonlinear second-order differential equation. Furthermore, an artificial neural network (NN)-based, backpropagated Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is utilized to interpret a numerical solution for the roll angle (x(t)), velocity (x′(t)), and acceleration (x′′(t)) of the ship in random beam seas. A reference data set based on numerical examples of the mathematical model for a rolling ship for the LM-NN algorithm is generated by the numerical solver Runge–Kutta method of order 4 (RK-4). The LM-NN algorithm further uses the created data set for the validation, testing, and training of approximate solutions. The outcomes of the design paradigm are compared with those of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM), and RK-4. Statistical analyses of the mean square error (MSE), regression, error histograms, proportional performance, and computational complexity further validate the worth of the LM-NN algorithm.
