Estimating CO2-Brine diffusivity using hybrid models of ANFIS and evolutionary algorithms

One of the important parameters illustrating the mass transfer process is the diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide which has a great impact on carbon dioxide storage in marine ecosystems, saline aquifers, and depleted reservoirs. Due to the complex interpretation approaches and special laboratory equipment for measurement of carbon dioxide-brine system diffusivity, the computational and mathematical methods are preferred. In this paper, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is coupled with five different evolutionary algorithms for predicting the diffusivity coefficient of carbon dioxide. The R2 values forthe testing phase are 0.9978, 0.9932, 0.9854, 0.9738 and 0.9514 for ANFIS optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithms (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO), backpropagation (BP), and differential evolution (DE), respectively. The hybrid machine learning model of ANFIS-PSO outperforms the other models

Estimating the heat capacity of non-Newtonian ionanofluid systems using ANN, ANFIS, and SGB tree algorithms

This work investigated the capability of multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP–ANN), stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) tree, radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF–ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models to determine the heat capacity (Cp) of ionanofluids in terms of the nanoparticle concentration (x) and the critical temperature (Tc), operational temperature (T), acentric factor (ω), and molecular weight (Mw) of pure ionic liquids (ILs). To this end, a comprehensive database of literature reviews was searched. The results of the SGB model were more satisfactory than the other models. Furthermore, an analysis was done to determine the outlying bad data points. It showed that most of the experimental data points were located in a reliable zone for the development of the model. The mean squared error and R 2 were 0.00249 and 0.987, 0.0132 and 0.9434, 0.0320 and 0.8754, and 0.0201 and 0.9204 for the SGB, MLP–ANN, ANFIS, and RBF–ANN, respectively. According to this study, the ability of SGB for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids was shown to be greater than other models. By eliminating the need for conducting costly and time-consuming experiments, the SGB strategy showed its superiority compared with experimental measurements. Furthermore, the SGB displayed great generalizability because of the stochastic element. Therefore, it can be highly applicable to unseen conditions. Furthermore, it can help chemical engineers and chemists by providing a model with low parameters that yields satisfactory results for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis showed that Cp is directly related to T, Mw, and Tc, and has an inverse relation with ω and x. Mw and Tc had the highest impact and ω had the lowest impact on Cp.https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applscipm2021Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineerin

Estimation of Adsorption Capacity of CO2, CH4, and their Binary Mixtures in Quidam Shale using LSSVM: Application in CO2 Enhanced Shale Gas Recovery and CO2 Storage

Carbon dioxide enhanced shale gas recovery depends strongly on adsorption properties of carbon dioxide and methane. In this work, Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization, has been proposed to learn and then predict adsorption capacity of methane and carbon dioxide from pure and binary gas mixtures in Jurassic shale samples from the Qaidam Basin in China based on input parameters pressure, temperature, gas composition and TOC. A literature dataset of 348 points was applied to train and validate the model. The predicted values were compared with the experimental data by statistical and graphical approaches. The coefficients of determination of carbon dioxide adsorption were calculated to 0.9990 and 0.9982 for training and validation datasets, respectively. For CH4 the numbers are 0.9980 and 0.9966. The model was extrapolating reasonable trends beyond measurement ranges. More extensive datasets are needed to properly parameterize the role of shale properties.acceptedVersio

Artificial Intelligence Based Methods for Asphaltenes Adsorption by Nanocomposites: Application of Group Method of Data Handling, Least Squares Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Networks

Asphaltenes deposition is considered a serious production problem. The literature does not include enough comprehensive studies on adsorption phenomenon involved in asphaltenes deposition utilizing inhibitors. In addition, effective protocols on handling asphaltenes deposition are still lacking. In this study, three efficient artificial intelligent models including group method of data handling (GMDH), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), and artificial neural network (ANN) are proposed for estimating asphaltenes adsorption onto NiO/SAPO-5, NiO/ZSM-5, and NiO/AlPO-5 nanocomposites based on a databank of 252 points. Variables influencing asphaltenes adsorption include pH, temperature, amount of nanocomposites over asphaltenes initial concentration (D/C0), and nanocomposites characteristics such as BET surface area and volume of micropores. The models are also optimized using nine optimization techniques, namely coupled simulated annealing (CSA), genetic algorithm (GA), Bayesian regularization (BR), scaled conjugate gradient (SCG), ant colony optimization (ACO), Levenberg–Marquardt (LM), imperialistic competitive algorithm (ICA), conjugate gradient with Fletcher-Reeves updates (CGF), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). According to the statistical analysis, the proposed RBF-ACO and LSSVM-CSA are the most accurate approaches that can predict asphaltenes adsorption with average absolute percent relative errors of 0.892% and 0.94%, respectively. The sensitivity analysis shows that temperature has the most impact on asphaltenes adsorption from model oil solutions
