Initial Temperature Parameters Research Articles

The present study analyzes the thermal attribute of conductive, convective, and radiative moving fin with thermal conductivity and constant velocity. The basic Darcy’s model is utilized to formulate the governing equation for the problem, which is further nondimensionalized using certain variables. Moreover, an effective soft computing paradigm based on the approximating ability of the feedforword artificial neural networks (FANN’s) and meta-heuristic approach of global and local search optimization techniques is developed to quantify the effect of variations in significant parameters such as ambient temperature, radiation-conduction number, Peclet number, nonconstant thermal conductivity, and initial temperature parameter on the temperature gradient of the rod. The results by the proposed FANN-AOA-SQP algorithm are compared with radial basis function approximation, Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method and machine-learning algorithms. An extensive graphical and statistical analysis based on solution curves and errors such as absolute errors, mean square error, standard deviations in Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency, mean absolute deviations, and Theil’s inequality coefficient are performed to show the accuracy, ease of implementation, and robustness of the design scheme.Graphical
