Thermal performance analysis of a heat exchanger with a novel turbulator insert by using machine learning method by Jiangbo Wang, Chenzhe Li, Liangcai Zeng, Ting Fu, Kai Liu

“…To evaluate the performance of the predictions, various metrics are employed, including the Regression Coefficient (R2), Mean Squared Error, Mean Absolute Error, and Root Mean Squared Error, for each output variable. Furthermore, the MLP model emerges as a highly efficient tool for estimating the Nu/Nu0, f/f0, and TEF of the targeted heat exchanger, where the R2 value of Nu/Nu0 is 0.9821, f/f0 is 0.9967, and TEF is 0.9370.…”
