A new approach for estimation of PVT properties of pure gases based on artificial neural network model

Equations of state are useful for description of fluid properties such as pressure-volume-temperature (PVT). However, the success estimation of such correlations depends mainly on the range of data which have originated. Therefore new models are highly required. In this work a new method is proposed...

Description
Summary:Equations of state are useful for description of fluid properties such as pressure-volume-temperature (PVT). However, the success estimation of such correlations depends mainly on the range of data which have originated. Therefore new models are highly required. In this work a new method is proposed based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for estimation of PVT properties of compounds. The data sets were collected from Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook. Different training schemes for the back-propagation learning algorithm, such as; Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and Resilient back Propagation (RP) methods were used. The accuracy and trend stability of the trained networks were tested against unseen data. The LM algorithm with sixty neurons in the hidden layer has proved to be the best suitable algorithm with the minimum Mean Square Error (MSE) of 0.000606. The ANN's capability to estimate the PVT properties is one of the best estimating method with high performance.
