For the selection of the double ellipsoid heat source parameters, the thermal cycle of different process was measured and compared with the simulation result. The experimental results were according to the actual conditions and the simulation results were obtained by finite element method. The sensitivity of heat source parameters was discussed. Pattern search method was used to obtain the most accurate parameters corresponding to the specific process. By summarizing all of the processes of experiment, the relationship between the experimental process parameters and the corresponding double ellipsoid heat source parameters was obtained. The artificial neural network algorithm was applied to predict the relationship between all possible process and the double ellipsoid heat source parameters. The verification experiment showed that the prediction model was accurate.

In this study, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the Rankine and absorption refrigeration cycles. Using a binary ammonia-water mixture as the working fluid, this combined cycle produces both power and refrigeration output simultaneously by employing only one external heat source. In order to achieve the highest possible exergy efficiency, a secondary turbine is inserted to expand the hot weak solution leaving the boiler. Moreover, an artificial neural network (ANN) is used to simulate the thermodynamic properties and the relationship between the input thermodynamic variables on the cycle performance. It is shown that turbine inlet pressure, as well as heat source and refrigeration temperatures have significant effects on the net power output, refrigeration output and exergy efficiency of the combined cycle. In addition, the results of ANN are in excellent agreement with the mathematical simulation and cover a wider range for evaluation of cycle performance.

Modelling is used for correlating the relationship between the input process parameters and the output responses during the machining process. To characterize real-world systems of considerable complexity, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is regularly used to replace the mathematical approximation of the relationship. This paper explains the methodological procedure and the outcome of the ANN modeling process for Electrical Discharge Drilling of Inconel 718 superalloy and hollow tubular copper as tool electrode. The most important process parameters in this work are peak current, pulse on time and pulse off time with machining performances of material removal rate and surface roughness. The experiments were performed by L20 Orthogonal Array. In such conditions, an Artificial Neural Network model is developed using MATLAB programming on the Feed Forward Back Propagation technique was used to predict the responses. The experimental data were separated into three parts to train, test the network and validate the model. The developed model has been confirmed experimentally for training and testing in considering the number of iterations and mean square error convergence criteria. The developed model results are to approximate the responses fairly exactly. The model has the mean correlation coefficient of 0.96558. Results revealed that the proposed model can be used for the prediction of the complex EDM drilling process.

<span>Multiple linear regressions are an important tool used to find the relationship between a set of variables used in various scientific experiments. In this article we are going to introduce a simple method of solving a multiple rectilinear regressions (MLR) problem that uses an artificial neural network to find the accurate and expected output from MLR problem. Different artificial neural network (ANN) types with different architecture will be tested, the error between the target outputs and the calculated ANN outputs will be investigated. A recommendation of using a certain type of ANN based on the experimental results will be raised.</span>
