Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Several experimental data are being reported in the field of nanofluids that illustrate the direction for researchers to fabricate enhanced nanofluids with improved properties and lower toxicity level. These large amounts of data have established an opportunity to propose new applications for machine learning methods, artificial intelligence approaches, and Big Data analyses focused on nanaofluids and nanoparticles, namely, metal oxide nanoparticles, nanotubes, graphenes, quantum dots, protein nanoparticles, and topological materials. These materials could be widely used in different areas such as drug delivery, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, heat transfer engineering, fuel engineering, computing, etc. However, there is a great amount of experimentally measured data which are not analyzed and evaluated with new analysis approaches. Recently, an array of interesting investigations have focused on new experimental methods and also on new data analysis models. We propose, therefore, a new Special Issue that covers both experimental methods and novel data analysis approaches for being employed to predict the properties and to evaluate the nanotoxicity of nanomaterials, etc. In this Special Issue, we cordially accept submission of all related studies in the fields of nanotechnology that investigate the problems through either experimental methods or data analysis approaches.

This work investigated the capability of multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP–ANN), stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) tree, radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF–ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models to determine the heat capacity (Cp) of ionanofluids in terms of the nanoparticle concentration (x) and the critical temperature (Tc), operational temperature (T), acentric factor (ω), and molecular weight (Mw) of pure ionic liquids (ILs). To this end, a comprehensive database of literature reviews was searched. The results of the SGB model were more satisfactory than the other models. Furthermore, an analysis was done to determine the outlying bad data points. It showed that most of the experimental data points were located in a reliable zone for the development of the model. The mean squared error and R2 were 0.00249 and 0.987, 0.0132 and 0.9434, 0.0320 and 0.8754, and 0.0201 and 0.9204 for the SGB, MLP–ANN, ANFIS, and RBF–ANN, respectively. According to this study, the ability of SGB for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids was shown to be greater than other models. By eliminating the need for conducting costly and time-consuming experiments, the SGB strategy showed its superiority compared with experimental measurements. Furthermore, the SGB displayed great generalizability because of the stochastic element. Therefore, it can be highly applicable to unseen conditions. Furthermore, it can help chemical engineers and chemists by providing a model with low parameters that yields satisfactory results for estimating the Cp of ionanofluids. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis showed that Cp is directly related to T, Mw, and Tc, and has an inverse relation with ω and x. Mw and Tc had the highest impact and ω had the lowest impact on Cp. Full article
