The prediction of convective heat transfer in floor-heating systems by artificial neural networks ☆

In this study the floor Nusselt and Rayleigh numbers for the floor-heating systems are estimated by the artificial neural networks (ANN). Numerical data for the floor Nusselt and Rayleigh numbers are available in the literature. A piece of the numerical values are used for training the ANN. The values estimated by the ANN are compared with the numerical values and the results of an equation given in the literature. It has been seen that the results of the ANN are very close to the numerical data and the results of the equation.
