in the present study, computational fluid dynamics (cfd) techniques and artificial neural networks (ann) are used to predict the pressure drop value (δp ) of al2o3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. δp  is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (h), inlet volumetric flow rate (qi  ), wall heat flux (qnw  ), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...

The group method of data handling technique (GMDH) and Box-Jenkins methods are two wellknown time series forecasting of mathematical modeling. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid modeling which combines the GMDH method with the Box-Jenkins method to model time series data. The Box-Jenkins method was used to determine the useful input variables of GMDH method and then the GMDH method which work...

in today’s world renewable energy is highly demanding because of increasing oil and fuelprices, desire and necessity to avert irreversible climate damage and also the unreliability of the non -renewablesources. in renewable energy, water is an important source. previously water is used only for survivalof human being as much as food but no attentionhas been givenen to economical use and conserv...

Objective (s): Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are widely used for predicting systems’ behavior. GMDH is a type of ANNs which has remarkable ability in pattern recognition. The aim the current study is proposing a model to predict dynamic viscosity of silver/water nanofluid which can be used as antimicrobial fluid in several medical purposes.Materials and Methods: In order to have precise mode...

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...

Accurate estimation of carbon and water fluxes of forest ecosystems is of particular importance for addressing the problems originating from global environmental change, and providing helpful information about carbon and water content for analyzing and diagnosing past and future climate change. The main focus of the current work was to investigate the feasibility of four comparatively new metho...

The objective of this study was to apply an improved Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) network model for prediction of debris flow by integrating dynamic rainfall data and environmental factors. The rainfall data were collected from weather information, and the environmental data were extracted from RS, GIS, drilling data, and geophysical data. The input variables used in the SAGA-GMDH model...

The effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of soil is an essential parameter for the design and unhindered operation underground energy transportation storage systems. Various experimental, empirical, semi-empirical, mathematical, numerical methods have been tried in past, but lack either accuracy or are computationally cumbersome. recent developments computer science provided a new computational...

Most isolators have numerous displacements due to their low stiffness and damping properties. Accordingly, the supplementary systems vital roles in enhancement lower isolation system displacement. Nevertheless, many cases, even by utilising additional dampers systems, occurrence of residual displacement is inevitable. To address this issue, study, a new smart type bar hysteretic equipped with s...

In this paper, we proposed a novel hybrid group method of data handling least squares support vector machine (GLSSVM) algorithm, which combines the theory a group method of data handling (GMDH) with the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). With the GMDH is used to determine the inputs of LSSVM method and the LSSVM model which works as time series forecasting. The aim of this study is t...
