In order to save the space for installation, a bent pipe is adopted for inlet of vertical inline pump. In this paper, to improve the performance of inlet pipe, a multi-objective optimization on the inlet pipe is proposed based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. A 5th-order Bezier curve is applied to fit the mean line of the inlet pipe and 3rd-order Bezier curves are used for depicting the variation trend of shape of sections. As the outlet of inlet pipe is fixed, 11 design variables are utilized for optimization, and the three optimization objectives are efficiency, head and standard deviation of velocity at the outlet of inlet pipe. To get the surrogate model, 149 different models obtained from Latin hypercube sampling are solved with numerical simulation. The results showed the numerical simulation has a great agreement with the experiment. Artificial neural network can accurately fit the target functions and design variables. The deviation of efficiency, head and standard deviation of velocity between predicted value and actual value were 0.26%, 0.05m and −0.27m/s, respectively. After optimization, an improvement on flow condition and a decrease of standard deviation of velocity before impeller were obtained. The efficiency and head were improved by 1.16% and 0.2m, respectively.

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.

Genetic algorithm (GA) is improved with fast non-dominated sort approach and crowded comparison operator. A new algorithm called parallel multi-objective genetic algorithm (PMGA) is developed with the support of Massage Passing Interface (MPI). Then, PMGA is combined with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to improve the optimization efficiency. Training samples of the ANN are evaluated based on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation solver of cascade. To demonstrate the feasibility of the hybrid algorithm, an optimization of a controllable diffusion cascade is performed. The optimization results show that the present method is efficient and trustiness.
