ANN Implementation for Nanofluid Thermal Conductivity Prediction

I am Saleh, a nanofluid researcher seeking help with ANN implementation for predicting the thermal conductivity of Al2O3/water-ethylene glycol hybrid nanofluid.

I have prepared a small dataset of 30 data points which I will divide into 15% for validation, 70% for training, and 15% for testing. I have selected the following specifications for the ANN based on other research trends :

  • ANN morphology: Multilayer perceptron (MLP) network

  • Network type: Feed-forward Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

  • Training Method: Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm

  • Error Criteria: Mean Square Error (MSE)

  • Number of Hidden Layers: 1

  • Number of neurons in the hidden layer: Increase from 7 to 21 with a step size of 2

  • Hidden Layer function: Tangent-sigmoid function

  • Output Layer function: Linear (Purelin activation function)

  • Inputs: Volume fraction (φ) and temperature (T)

  • Outputs: Thermal conductivity of the nanofluid (knf)

With my knowledge in nanofluids but limited coding skills, I kindly request assistance from the community in implementing the ANN for my project.
