[0023] Embodiment 2: As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the falling film heat transfer coefficient based on a neural network, including the following steps: A. Based on the experimental data, analysis methods, and numerical simulation results in the literature, construct a comprehensive database covering three heat transfer mechanisms of single-phase convection, falling film evaporation, and falling film boiling, and the data cover a wide range of parameter ranges.

[0024] B. Divide the comprehensive database into a training set and a test set according to a predetermined ratio, and perform normalization preprocessing on the sample data.

[0025] C. According to the characteristics of the three heat transfer mechanisms, select the corresponding neural network input and output parameters.

[0026] D. Construct the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model structure, use the characteristic parameters in the training set of step B for model input and output, and optimize to obtain the optimal ANN model under each heat transfer mechanism by adjusting the ANN model parameters and structure.

[0027] E. Use sensitivity analysis to explore the influence of each input parameter on the falling film heat transfer coefficient.

[0028] F. Use the test set to test the ANN model optimized in step D and predict the falling film heat transfer coefficient.

[0029] The comprehensive database of the three heat transfer mechanisms involved in step A is as follows: Single-phase convection: includes 1,635 groups of water and alcohol data.

[0030] Falling film evaporation: includes 2,095 groups of water, ammonia, and R22 data.

[0031] Falling film boiling: 1,207 groups of water, R134a, R123, R11, R32, R290, R600a, R1234ze, and R245fa data.

[0032] The dataset splitting ratio and data preprocessing involved in step B are as follows: Single-phase convection: The training set and test set are divided in an 81% - 19% ratio.

[0033] Falling film evaporation: The training set and test set are divided in a 70% - 30% ratio.

[0034] Falling film boiling: The training set and test set are divided in a 78% - 22% ratio.

[0035] The maximum-minimum scaling method is used for data preprocessing.

[0036] The corresponding neural network input and output parameters involved in step C are as follows: Single-phase convection: The input parameters are Re , Pr , D , and the output is Nu ; Falling film evaporation: The input parameters are fluid type, Re , Pr , D , T , q , and the output is Nu ; Falling film boiling: The input parameters are fluid type, Γ , Re , T , Pr , D , q, Bo, We, Ka , and the output is Nu .

[0037] In step D, the optimized ANN model parameters include the maximum number of iterations, the maximum number of validation failures, the target error accuracy, the activation function, the training function, and the number of neuron nodes in each layer.

[0038] The optimized evaluation metrics include the mean absolute error ( MAE ), the mean square error ( MSE ), and the coefficient of determination ( R 2 ).

[0039] In step E, the sensitivity analysis uses the Garson algorithm based on connection weights to enhance the interpretability of the ANN model and analyze the sensitivity coefficients of each input parameter.

[0040] Example 3: In this example, a prediction method for the falling film heat transfer coefficient based on a neural network is provided. The specific implementation steps are as follows: 1. Establish a falling film heat transfer database under three different heat transfer mechanisms, as shown in Tables 1 to 3; The falling film heat transfer database includes a single-phase convection database, a falling film evaporation database, and a falling film boiling database. The above databases all contain falling film heat transfer sample data from experimental measurements, theoretical analyses, and numerical simulations in the open literature. The accurate prediction of the falling film heat transfer coefficient is affected by multiple factors such as fluid properties (density, viscosity), system design parameters (pipe diameter, spacing), and operating conditions (liquid film flow rate, heat flux density).

[0041] Therefore, the following three databases are established: Tables 1 to 3 detail the parameter information covered in these databases.

[0042] Table 1

[0043] Table 2

[0044] Table 3

[0045] 2. Division of the training set and the test set The sample data is divided into a training set and a test set. The training set is used for model training, while the test set is not seen by the model and is only used to evaluate the model's prediction performance. Specifically, the single-phase convection database is divided into 1324 groups of training data and 311 groups of test data according to 81% - 19%, the falling film evaporation database is divided into 1467 groups of training data and 628 groups of test data at 70% - 30%, and the falling film boiling database is divided into 941 groups of training data and 266 groups of test data according to the ratio of 78% - 22%.

[0046] 3. Normalization preprocessing of the data The sample data needs to be normalized to avoid model instability caused by differences in different feature dimensions or numerical ranges. In this implementation, the maximum-minimum scaling method is used, that is , the feature data is scaled to the interval [0,1] to eliminate the dimension difference, promote the convergence of the neural network, and improve the stability and accuracy of the model. Among them x max and x minThe maximum and minimum values of the respective features x * are the normalized data. The normalization is achieved through the mapminmax function in Matlab.

[0047] 4. Determination of the input and output parameters of the neural network A reasonable selection of the input and output parameters of the neural network can not only capture the key information of the data, but also reduce the model complexity, improve the training efficiency and generalization ability. In this embodiment, the corresponding neural network input and output parameters are selected for three different heat transfer mechanisms. Table 4 lists the prediction accuracies of the three finally determined models.

[0048] Table 4

[0049] 5. Building and optimizing the neural network model In this embodiment, the evaluation indexes of the neural network model performance include: mean square error ( MSE ), mean absolute error ( MAE ), and coefficient of determination ( R 2 ). In addition, the parameters β , θ and ξ are respectively used to represent the percentages of the predicted data within the error ranges of ±10%, ±20%, and ±30%.

[0050] (1) (2) (3) Among them, n is the number of samples, y ii and are the actual values and predicted values of the model, is the average value of the actual values of the model. MSE and MAE The lower the value, the higher the model accuracy. R 2 Evaluates the goodness of fit between the predicted value and the actual value. The closer the value is to 1, the stronger the prediction ability.

[0051] The optimal number of nodes in the hidden layer is determined through an empirical formula and iterative testing, that is . Among them, X, z, and m represent the number of nodes in the hidden layer, input layer, and output layer respectively, and a is a constant between 1 and 20.

[0052] Figure 3 Shows the prediction accuracies of each heat transfer mechanism model under different numbers of hidden layer nodes.Figure 3 In (a), for the single-phase convection model, the overall MSE decreases between nodes 6 and 19 and reaches the minimum at node 19. After that, overfitting occurs. Therefore, the optimal number of nodes is 19. Figure 3 As shown in (b), for the falling film evaporation model, the MSE is very high at node 11, probably because the network converges to a local optimum. While the MSE is the lowest at node 13. Therefore, the optimal number of nodes is 13. Figure 3 As shown in (c), for the falling film boiling model, the MSE is stable between nodes 12 and 16, and the fluctuation increases after node 16, and the MSE is the lowest at node 23. Therefore, the optimal number of nodes is 23.

[0053] The results of multiple experiments show that although the multi-hidden layer neural network can reduce the feature parameters in complex scenarios, adding unnecessary layers will increase complexity and training time, and the improvement of the prediction error is not significant. Selecting a single-hidden layer network can save time while maintaining accuracy.

[0054] The activation function is used to limit the output of neurons. In this embodiment, the tansig non-linear activation function is selected for the hidden layer, which is centered at zero and maps real numbers to [-1, 1], accelerating the network convergence and effectively alleviating the vanishing gradient. The purelin linear function is used for the output layer.

[0055] Different training functions have a significant impact on the results of the neural network model. The trainlm function is preferably used in the present invention because it implements the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) algorithm. As Figure 2 , the present invention adopts the BP algorithm, calculates the error gradient through the forward propagation of signals and the backpropagation of errors, and adjusts the network parameters with the L-M algorithm. The L-M algorithm combines the Newton method and the gradient descent method, converges quickly, is suitable for medium-scale networks, and has an adaptive learning rate built-in. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to carefully selecting and adjusting parameters such as the maximum number of iterations, the number of validation failures, and the target error to control the convergence and stop of the iteration.

[0056] 6. Sensitivity Analysis of Each Input Parameter of the Model Sensitivity analysis can quantify the influence of input variables on the model output and improve the interpretability of the model. The higher the sensitivity coefficient, the greater the influence. In this embodiment, the Garson algorithm in the sensitivity analysis based on connection weights is used to calculate the sensitivity coefficients of each input parameter, that is:

[0057] Among them, Q ik is the sensitivity coefficient of input variable i to output variable k, w ij is the connection weight value from input variable i to hidden layer node j, v jk is the connection weight from hidden layer node j to output variable k, and L and N are the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the number of input variables respectively.

[0058] Figure 4 The sensitivity coefficients of the input parameters in the three models are shown. In the single-phase convection model, the sensitivity coefficient of the Prandtl number Pr is the highest, the pipe diameter D significantly affects the falling film evaporation heat transfer, and the Reynolds number Re has the greatest influence on the falling film boiling heat transfer.

[0059] 7. Testing the prediction accuracy of the neural network model Table 5 lists the structural design and parameter settings of the optimized neural network model in this embodiment.

[0060] Table 5

[0061] Figure 5 The predicted values and actual values of Nu in the test set of the neural network model under three heat transfer mechanisms are compared. From Figure 5 (a), it can be seen that the single-phase convection model has accurate predictions. The MAE for 311 groups of test data is 1.29%, and R² is 0.9117. Among them, 94.86% of the data has a prediction error within ±20%, and 95.5% within ±30%. From Figure 5 (b), it can be seen that the falling film evaporation model has an MAE of 1.09% for 628 groups of test data, and R² is 0.9236. 96.82% of the data has an error within ±20%, and 98.25% within ±30%. From Figure 5 (c), it can be seen that the falling film boiling model has an MAE of 5.02% for 266 groups of test data, and R² is 0.9637. 86.84% of the data has an error within ±20%, and 92.86% within ±30%. This indicates that the falling film heat transfer prediction model proposed in the present invention effectively captures the complex non-linear relationship between the falling film heat transfer parameters and has excellent prediction performance under the three heat transfer mechanisms.
