Indonesia with abundant limestone raw materials, lightweight brick is the most important component in building construction, so it needs a light brick product that qualifies in thermal, mechanical and acoustic properties. In this paper raised the lightweight brick domains that qualify on the properties of thermal conductivity as building wall components.The advantage of low light density brick (500-650 kg/m3), more economical, suitable for high rise building can reduce the weight of 30-40% in compared to conventional brick (clay brick). To obtain AAC type lightweight brick product that qualifies for low thermal and density properties to the effect of Aluminum (Al) additive element variation using artificial neural network (ANN). The composition of the main elements of lightweight brick O (29-45 % wt), Si (25-35% wt) and Ca (20-40 % wt). Mixing ratio of the main element of light brick (Ca, O and Si) with Aluminum additive element (Al), is done by simulation method of artificial neural network (ANN), Al additive element as a porosity regulator is formed. The simulation of thermal conductivity to the influence of main element variation: Ca (22-32 % wt), Si (12-33 % wt). Simulation of thermal conductivity to effect of additive Al variation (1-7 % wt). Simulation of thermal conductivity to density variation (500-1200 kg/m3). The simulated results of four AAC brick samples showed the thermal conductivity (0.145-0.192 W/m.K) to the influence of qualified Aluminum additives (2.10-6.75 % wt). Additive Al the higher the lower density value (higher porosity) additive Al smaller than 2.10 % wt does not meet the requirements in the simulation.Thermal conductivity of AAC light brick sample (0.184 W/m.K) the influence of the main elements that qualify Ca (20.32-30.35 % wt) and Si (26.57 % wt). Simulation of artificial neural network (ANN) of light brick shows that maximum allowable Si content of 26.57 % wt, Ca content is in the range 20.32-30.35 % wt, and the minimum content of aluminum in brick is light at 2.10 % wt. ANN tests performed to predict the thermal conductivity of light brick samples obtained results of the average AAC light brick thermal conductivity of 0.151 W/m.K. The best performance with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) characteristics has a validation MSE of 0.002252.

Abstract Artificial neural network (ANN) was used to predict the dry density of soil from its thermal conductivity. The study area is a farmland located in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria. Thirty points were sampled in a grid pattern, and the thermal conductivities were measured using KD-2 Pro thermal analyser. Samples were collected from 20 sample points to determine the dry density in the laboratory. MATLAB was used to perform the ANN analysis in order to predict the dry density of soil. The ANN was able to predict dry density with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.50 and a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.80. The validation of our model between the actual and predicted dry densities shows R2 to be 0.99. This fit shows that the model can be applied to predict the dry density of soil in study areas where the thermal conductivities are known.

The objective of this study is to predict thermal conductivity of aqueous solution with artificial neural network (ANN) model with three inputs (pressure, temperature and concentration). A feed forward artificial neural network with three neurons in its hidden layer is recommended to predict thermal conductivity and the accuracy of this method evaluated by regression analysis between the predicted and experimental value and it shows desired result.

The performance of correlation between the dielectric parameters of Baobab Oil (BAO) and Mongongo Oil (MGO) is evaluated using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The BAO and MGO naturally own high Unsaturated Fatty Acids (UFAs) and are highly biodegradable. The temperature studies and dielectric studies are carried out and found that the Natural Esters (NEs) show a reliable performance over mineral oil-based Transformer Oil (TO). Further the endurance test, Partial Discharge Inception Voltage (PDIV) repetition rate and drop after 30 days, dielectric measurements are done as per the standards of IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). The NEs show stable performance under PDIV and show minimum repetition rate when compared to the TO. The C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] or Kerosene (KER) and NEs mixture prove that the NE-based transformer fluids show lesser tendency to hydro peroxidation. The C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] acts as a thinning agent and reduces the ageing rate of the NEs, and this leads to slower rate of water saturation. This in turn increases the thermal conductivity of the oil and nearly a 30-days thermal ageing of the oil samples at 90[Formula: see text]C shows better strength of liquid insulation. The performance of association between the dielectric properties like breakdown voltage and water content, dissipation factor and thermal conductivity prove that the NEs show consistent performance and is a better substitute for the mineral oil-based TO.
