Prediction and optimization of isentropic efficiency of vortex pump under full operating conditions in Organic Rankine Cycle waste heat recovery system based on deep learning and intelligent algorithm

Abstract

The isentropic efficiency of vortex pump in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system has an important influence on the performance of the system. In this paper, vortex pump experimental data and deep learning are combined to construct an experimental data-driven isentropic efficiency prediction model of vortex pump under full operating conditions. The activation function and the number of hidden layer nodes in the model are filtered by nested screening technique. Through bilinear interpolation algorithm, the influence of vortex pump operation parameters on the isentropic efficiency is analyzed. In addition, the optimization boundary is selected in the four-dimensional space. Finally, the deep learning prediction model is combined with Linear Decreasing Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization (LDIWPSO) to predict and optimize the maximum isentropic efficiency of vortex pump under full operating conditions. Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R-square) are combined to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the model. The prediction and optimization results show that the maximum isentropic efficiency of vortex pump can reach 22.89%. The combination of deep learning and LDIWPSO can predict and optimize the maximum isentropic efficiency for vortex pump with high precision. It also provides a reference for the maximum value of vortex pump isentropic efficiency in theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.
