An artificial neural network (ANN) formulation for solving the dynamic programming problem (DPP) is presented. The DPP entails finding an optimal path from a source node to a destination node which minimizes (or maximizes) a performance measure of the problem. The optimization procedure is implemented and demonstrated using a modified Hopfield–Tank ANN. Simulations show that the ANN can provide a near-optimal solution during an elapsed time of only a few characteristic time constants of the circuit for DPPs with sizes as large as 64 stages with 64 states in each stage. An application of the proposed algorithm to an optimal control problem is presented. The proposed artificial neural network dynamic programming algorithm is attractive due to its radically improved speed over conventional techniques especially where real-time near-optimal solutions are required.

Four distinct regimes were found existent (namely sliding bed, saltation, heterogeneous suspension and homogeneous suspension) in slurry flow in pipeline depending upon the average velocity of flow. In the literature, few numbers of correlations has been proposed for identification of these regimes in slurry pipelines. Regime identification is important for slurry pipeline design as they are the prerequisite to apply different pressure drop correlation in different regime. However, available correlations fail to predict the regime over a wide range of conditions. Based on a databank of around 800 measurements collected from the open literature, a method has been proposed to identify the regime using artificial neural network (ANN) modeling. The method incorporates hybrid artificial neural network and genetic algorithm technique (ANN-GA) for efficient tuning of ANN meta parameters. Statistical analysis showed that the proposed method has an average misclassification error of 0.03%. A comparison with selected correlations in the literature showed that the developed ANN-GA method noticeably improved prediction of regime over a wide range of operating conditions, physical properties, and pipe diameters.
