...Leonor Hernández; J. Enrique Julia; Basar Ozar; Takashi Hibiki; Mamoru Ishii This work describes the application of an artificial neural network to process the signals measured by local conductivity probes and classify them into their corresponding global flow regimes. Experiments were performed...

... have been made. In this study, the area-averaged void fraction CPDF distribution is used as a flow regime indicator. The flow regime mapping was performed by a SONN. This neural network architecture was trained without supervision but the number of flow regime categories was specified. In this study...

...Ling-Xiao Zhao; Chun-Lu Zhang; Liang-Liang Shao; Liang Yang Adiabatic capillary tubes and short tube orifices are widely used as expansive devices in refrigeration, residential air conditioners, and heat pumps. In this paper, a generalized neural network has been developed to predict the mass flow...
