Prediction of Thermophysical Properties of Helium Using Linear Prediction and Artificial Neural Networks

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Thermophysical properties of helium are significant in practical applications. However, the values of properties vary under different circumstances, which may have bad impacts on practical productions and applications. In our study, computational models like Linear Prediction and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are applied to predict the thermophysical properties of the chemical substances. By analyzing 50 data groups using Linear Prediction, General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) and Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network (MLFN) methods, 9 models were successfully established to predict the thermophysical properties of helium, including density, energy, enthalpy, entropy, isochoric heat capacity, isobaric heat capacity, viscosity, thermal conductivity and dielectric constant. Within permissible error range (30% tolerance), our models were proved to be robust and accurate which indicates that ANN models can be used to predict the thermophysical properties of helium.
