Introduction For nearly 60 years, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been widely used as solvents, foam blowing agents, aerosols, and especially refrigerants due to their stability, nontoxicity, non- flammability, good thermodynamic properties, and so on. However, they also have a harmful effect on the earth’s pro- tective ozone layer. So, they have been regulated interna- tionally by Montreal Protocol since 1987. Much effort has been made to find the suitable replacement for CFCs. Initial CFC alternatives included some hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), but they will be also phased out internationally because their ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) and global warming potentials (GWPs) are significant though less than those of CFCs. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) synthetic refrig- erants which have zero ODPs were proposed as promising replacements for CFCs and HCFCs [1]. e deadline for HCFCs which have low ozone depletion potential is 2030.

1 Introduction

For nearly 60 years chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have beenwidely used as solvents foam blowing agents aerosols andespecially refrigerants due to their stability nontoxicity non-flammability good thermodynamic properties and so onHowever they also have a harmful effect on the earthrsquos pro-tective ozone layer So they have been regulated interna-tionally by Montreal Protocol since 1987 Much effort hasbeen made to find the suitable replacement for CFCs InitialCFC alternatives included some hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs) but they will be also phased out internationallybecause their ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) and globalwarming potentials (GWPs) are significant though less thanthose of CFCs Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) synthetic refrig-erants which have zero ODPs were proposed as promisingreplacements for CFCs and HCFCs [1] The deadline forHCFCs which have low ozone depletion potential is 2030Also there is no report for another type of refrigerants suchas light hydrocarbons or perfluorocarbons as harmful refrig-erants In order to develop new refrigerants for replacementwith harmful refrigerants the mixtures of carbon dioxide

and clean refrigerants have been studied in the number ofresearches [2ndash8] that was reviewed in the present study

R134a is an environmentally acceptable refrigerant whichhas replaced the ozone-depleting CFC-12 (dichlorodifluo-romethane) in a wide range of applications especially in auto-motive air conditioning and domestic refrigeration Anothernatural refrigerant carbon dioxide (R744) has received newworldwide interest as a working fluid in automotive air con-ditioning To expand the range of possible replacement fluidwith desired properties phase behavior of R134a-R744 shouldbe studied This clean mixture can be formulated so as toobtain a similar vapor pressure to that of the original refriger-ant to suppress flammability or toxicity of one of the compo-nents that otherwise has excellent thermophysical properties[5]

R152a is used for refrigeration and as an aerosol propel-lant It is most commonly found in electronic cleaning prod-ucts and many consumer aerosol products that must meetstringent volatile organic compounds (VOC) requirements[8] Such as the mixture of R134a-R744 prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for the mixture of R152a-R744 is

necessary for the development of new refrigerant mixtureswith minimal environmental impact

R116 and R744 (CO2) are two very interesting fluids

for industry Their common peculiarity is their low criticaltemperatures The critical temperature of CO

2is 30420K

while that of R116 is 29304K Moreover this system presentsazeotropic behavior indicating strong interaction betweenthe two species in particular a strong repulsive interactionAzeotropic and even quasiazeotropic behaviors are of utmostinterest not only to refrigeration industry but also to allindustries involved in supercritical fluid extraction Utiliza-tion of fluids with low critical points that are also safe forthe environment is generally highly preferred An azeotropicmixture of R116 and R744 could be very interesting for indus-try of refrigeration as the azeotrope position is at high R744composition [6] So it is useful to study theVLE of this type ofmixtures

The mixture of CO2-R610 (perfluorocarbons) is another

type of refrigerants In addition to the role of a refrigerant thismixture has another application This application is ability ofperfluorocarbons in dissolving refinery gases such as CO

2

and it is necessary to prediction of phase behavior for thismixture [7]

R123 and R124 are two new clean fire extinguishing agentsin comparison to other agents For the new total floodingclean agents that were being developed to replace certainHalon fire extinguishing agents the discharge time requiredto achieve 95 of the minimum design concentration shallnot exceed 10 s and the expellant gas is needed for its lack ofvapor pressure Generally nitrogen is used as an expellant gasbecause it does not need to be liquefied at high pressure butCO2has some merits to nitrogen such as price storage area

and supplementary extinguishing effect When CO2is used

as an expellant gas the knowledge of the phase behavior ofthe mixtures CO

2and fire extinguishing agents is essential

to design fire extinguishing processes and equipmentsMore-over phase equilibrium data are needed to calculate the fric-tion loss along with the working plans (from the storage tankto the discharge orifice) [2]

Hydrocarbons like propane butane and isobutane haveexcellent thermophysical properties and are compatible withmaterials normally used in refrigeration plants such as cop-per However the flammability of hydrocarbons limits theirapplication to specific systems Carbon dioxide has advan-tages of being nontoxic inflammable and high in volumetriccapacity of refrigeration However the refrigeration systemusing carbon dioxide is operated under a very high pressureHydrocarbons would reduce the problems occurring due tohigh pressure of carbon dioxide while carbon dioxide wouldreduce the flammability of hydrocarbons The mixtures ofcarbon dioxide and propane (R290) are proposed as promis-ing alternative refrigerantsTheVLEdata are essential to eval-uate the performance of the refrigeration or the heat pumpcycles using these refrigerant mixtures and to determine theoptimum composition for the best performance [3]

Information about the phase behavior of refrigerantmixtures can be obtained from direct measurement of phaseequilibrium data or by the use of equation of state andoractivity coefficient based on thermodynamic models Direct

measurement of precise experimental data is often difficultand expensive while the second method which includes alarge number of equations of states and excess Gibbs freeenergy models is tedious and involves a certain amount ofempiricism to determine mixture constants through fittingexperimental data and using various arbitrary mixing rulesmaking it difficult to select the appropriatemodel for a partic-ular case [9]Thus due to the difficulties of experimentalmea-surements and also their time-consuming and costly natureit is desirable to develop predictive methods for estimatingthe phase behavior of these kinds of systems

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are advanced tech-niques with extreme flexibility ANN as a branch of AI is aflexible modeling method and has shown high performancesin many cases ANN is an empirical tool which can modelany kind of data sets even in the cases where relations arecomplex [10] Recently ANN has found extensive applicationin the field of thermodynamics and transport properties suchas the estimation of VLE viscosity density vapor pressurecompressibility factor and thermal conductivity [11ndash33]Thismethod provides nonlinear functionmapping of a set of inputvariables into the corresponding network output ANNs canbe applied for accurate VLE determination of polar and non-polar components [9 34ndash51] Basic theory and application tochemical problems of ANN with the back-propagation algo-rithm have been previously discussed in [48]

In this research a comprehensive model based onmultilayer feed forward back-propagation artificial neuralnetwork (FFBP-ANN) was developed to estimate VLE datafor eight refrigerant mixtures containing CO

2 The refriger-

ants include difluoromethane (R32) propane (R290) 11-difluoroethane (R152a) hexafluoroethane (R116) decafluor-obutane (R610) 22-dichloro-111-trifluoroethane (R123) 1-chloro-1222-tetrafluoroethane (R124) and 1112-tetraflu-oroethane (R134a) The developed model was trained andevaluated by using the experimental data for eight binaryrefrigerant mixtures reported by [2ndash8] and pure componentproperties for eight refrigerants reported by [2ndash8 52 53] Apart of experimental data was used to train the networks andthe rest was used to evaluate the performance of the networksFinally for the model validation the prediction of the ANNmodel (CO

2mole fraction in the vapor phase) was compared

with the thermodynamic model from different literatures [46 8] and also with the experimental data Furthermore theability of the ANN model for the prediction of VLE data forbinary mixture in azeotropic condition was examined

2 Artificial Neural Network

Neural networks consist of arrays of simple active units linkedby weighted connections ANN consists of multiple layers ofneurons arranged in such a way that each neuron in one layeris connected with each neuron in the next layer The networkused in this study is a multilayer feed forward neural networkwith a learning scheme of the back propagation (BP) of errorsand the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for the adjustmentof the connecting weights Neurons are the fundamentalprocessing element of an ANN which are arranged in layersthat make up the global architecture [48]

The main advantage of using ANNs to predict the VLEdata lies in their ability to learn the relationship between thecomplex VLE data for different binary mixtures The ANNinput is the first layer in the network throughwhich the infor-mation is supplied The number of neurons in the input layerdepends on the network input parameters Hidden layersconnect the input and output layers Hidden layers enrich thenetwork for learning the relation between input and outputdata In theory ANN with only one hidden layer and enoughneurons in the hidden layer has the ability to learn anyrelation between the input and output data Transfer functionis the mathematic function that determines the relationbetween neuron output and the network In other wordstransfer function indicates the degree of nonlinearity in thenetwork Practically in the feed forward BP-ANN modelsome limited functions are used as transfer functions [54]Normally the transfer functions of all neurons in the hiddenlayers are similar Also for all neurons in the output layer thesame transfer function is used For the prediction of phenom-ena logistic transfer function is the most conventional trans-fer function that is used in the hidden layers because it is veryeasy to differentiate the sigmoid transfer function used in theBP algorithm [55 56] The sigmoid transfer function is asfollows

4 Development of the ANN Model

An ANN model was considered for the prediction of CO2

mole fraction in the vapor phase In order to describe thephase behavior of the eight R744 (1)-refrigerants (2) binariesby one ANN model a total of eight variables have beenselected in this work four intensive state variables (equi-librium temperature equilibrium pressure and equilibriumCO2mole fractions in the liquid and vapor phases) and four

pure component properties of the refrigerant (normal boilingpoint critical temperature critical pressure and acentricfactor) The choice of the input and output variables wasbased on the phase rule practical considerations (bubble ordew point computation) and the need to describe the eightbinaries by only one ANNmodel Therefore the equilibriumtemperature and pressure and the R744 mole fraction in theliquid phase together with the pure component properties ofthe refrigerant have been selected as input variables and theR744 mole fraction in the vapor phase as output variable

As shown in Figure 2 a multilayer feed forward neuralnetwork structure with a hidden layer was used in this studyANN modeling for the VLE of eight CO

2(1)-refrigerant

(2) binaries was carried out in MATLAB ver 790 programInitially the program starts with the default FFBP-ANN type(newff MATLAB function) the Levenberg-Marquardt BPtraining algorithm (trainlmMATLAB training function) andone hidden layer Once the topology is specified the startingand ending number(s) of neurons in the hidden layer(s) haveto be specified The number of neurons in a hidden layer is

then modified by adding neurons one at a time The proce-dure begins with the logarithmic sigmoid activation functionthen the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function forthe hidden layers and the linear activation function for theoutput layer The results of different runs of the programshow that the bayesian regularization back propagation(BRBP) using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization modelstrain more successfully than models using attenuated train-ing Table 3 shows the structure of the optimizedANNmodelThe weight matrices and bias vectors of the optimized ANNmodel were listed in Table 4 where 119908ih is the input-hiddenlayer connection weight matrix (10 rows and 7 columns)119908hois the hidden layer-output connection weight matrix (1 rowsand 10 columns) 119887h is the hidden neurons bias column vector(10 rows) and 119887o is the output neurons bias column vector (1row and 1 column)

Using the random selection method 60 of all data wereassigned to the training set 20 of all data were assigned tothe validation set and the rest of the data were used as the testset In the training phase the number of neurons in the hid-den layer was important for the network optimization How-ever decision on the number of hidden layer neurons is diffi-cult because it depends on the specific problem being solvedusing ANN With too few neurons the network may not bepowerful enough for a given learning taskWith a large num-ber of neurons the ANN may memorize the input trainingdata very well so that the network tends to perform poorly onnew test data and is called ldquooverfittingrdquo To prevent the over-fitting issue we should evaluate average absolute deviation(AAD) for train set validation set and test set and they mustbe in the same order of magnitude Absolute deviation (AD)and AAD were calculated from the following relations

necessary for the development of new refrigerant mixtureswith minimal environmental impact

R116 and R744 (CO2) are two very interesting fluids

for industry Their common peculiarity is their low criticaltemperatures The critical temperature of CO

2is 30420K

while that of R116 is 29304K Moreover this system presentsazeotropic behavior indicating strong interaction betweenthe two species in particular a strong repulsive interactionAzeotropic and even quasiazeotropic behaviors are of utmostinterest not only to refrigeration industry but also to allindustries involved in supercritical fluid extraction Utiliza-tion of fluids with low critical points that are also safe forthe environment is generally highly preferred An azeotropicmixture of R116 and R744 could be very interesting for indus-try of refrigeration as the azeotrope position is at high R744composition [6] So it is useful to study theVLE of this type ofmixtures

The mixture of CO2-R610 (perfluorocarbons) is another

type of refrigerants In addition to the role of a refrigerant thismixture has another application This application is ability ofperfluorocarbons in dissolving refinery gases such as CO

2

and it is necessary to prediction of phase behavior for thismixture [7]

R123 and R124 are two new clean fire extinguishing agentsin comparison to other agents For the new total floodingclean agents that were being developed to replace certainHalon fire extinguishing agents the discharge time requiredto achieve 95 of the minimum design concentration shallnot exceed 10 s and the expellant gas is needed for its lack ofvapor pressure Generally nitrogen is used as an expellant gasbecause it does not need to be liquefied at high pressure butCO2has some merits to nitrogen such as price storage area

and supplementary extinguishing effect When CO2is used

as an expellant gas the knowledge of the phase behavior ofthe mixtures CO

2and fire extinguishing agents is essential

to design fire extinguishing processes and equipmentsMore-over phase equilibrium data are needed to calculate the fric-tion loss along with the working plans (from the storage tankto the discharge orifice) [2]

Hydrocarbons like propane butane and isobutane haveexcellent thermophysical properties and are compatible withmaterials normally used in refrigeration plants such as cop-per However the flammability of hydrocarbons limits theirapplication to specific systems Carbon dioxide has advan-tages of being nontoxic inflammable and high in volumetriccapacity of refrigeration However the refrigeration systemusing carbon dioxide is operated under a very high pressureHydrocarbons would reduce the problems occurring due tohigh pressure of carbon dioxide while carbon dioxide wouldreduce the flammability of hydrocarbons The mixtures ofcarbon dioxide and propane (R290) are proposed as promis-ing alternative refrigerantsTheVLEdata are essential to eval-uate the performance of the refrigeration or the heat pumpcycles using these refrigerant mixtures and to determine theoptimum composition for the best performance [3]

Information about the phase behavior of refrigerantmixtures can be obtained from direct measurement of phaseequilibrium data or by the use of equation of state andoractivity coefficient based on thermodynamic models Direct

measurement of precise experimental data is often difficultand expensive while the second method which includes alarge number of equations of states and excess Gibbs freeenergy models is tedious and involves a certain amount ofempiricism to determine mixture constants through fittingexperimental data and using various arbitrary mixing rulesmaking it difficult to select the appropriatemodel for a partic-ular case [9]Thus due to the difficulties of experimentalmea-surements and also their time-consuming and costly natureit is desirable to develop predictive methods for estimatingthe phase behavior of these kinds of systems

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are advanced tech-niques with extreme flexibility ANN as a branch of AI is aflexible modeling method and has shown high performancesin many cases ANN is an empirical tool which can modelany kind of data sets even in the cases where relations arecomplex [10] Recently ANN has found extensive applicationin the field of thermodynamics and transport properties suchas the estimation of VLE viscosity density vapor pressurecompressibility factor and thermal conductivity [11ndash33]Thismethod provides nonlinear functionmapping of a set of inputvariables into the corresponding network output ANNs canbe applied for accurate VLE determination of polar and non-polar components [9 34ndash51] Basic theory and application tochemical problems of ANN with the back-propagation algo-rithm have been previously discussed in [48]

In this research a comprehensive model based onmultilayer feed forward back-propagation artificial neuralnetwork (FFBP-ANN) was developed to estimate VLE datafor eight refrigerant mixtures containing CO

2 The refriger-

ants include difluoromethane (R32) propane (R290) 11-difluoroethane (R152a) hexafluoroethane (R116) decafluor-obutane (R610) 22-dichloro-111-trifluoroethane (R123) 1-chloro-1222-tetrafluoroethane (R124) and 1112-tetraflu-oroethane (R134a) The developed model was trained andevaluated by using the experimental data for eight binaryrefrigerant mixtures reported by [2ndash8] and pure componentproperties for eight refrigerants reported by [2ndash8 52 53] Apart of experimental data was used to train the networks andthe rest was used to evaluate the performance of the networksFinally for the model validation the prediction of the ANNmodel (CO

2mole fraction in the vapor phase) was compared

with the thermodynamic model from different literatures [46 8] and also with the experimental data Furthermore theability of the ANN model for the prediction of VLE data forbinary mixture in azeotropic condition was examined

2 Artificial Neural Network

Neural networks consist of arrays of simple active units linkedby weighted connections ANN consists of multiple layers ofneurons arranged in such a way that each neuron in one layeris connected with each neuron in the next layer The networkused in this study is a multilayer feed forward neural networkwith a learning scheme of the back propagation (BP) of errorsand the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for the adjustmentof the connecting weights Neurons are the fundamentalprocessing element of an ANN which are arranged in layersthat make up the global architecture [48]

The main advantage of using ANNs to predict the VLEdata lies in their ability to learn the relationship between thecomplex VLE data for different binary mixtures The ANNinput is the first layer in the network throughwhich the infor-mation is supplied The number of neurons in the input layerdepends on the network input parameters Hidden layersconnect the input and output layers Hidden layers enrich thenetwork for learning the relation between input and outputdata In theory ANN with only one hidden layer and enoughneurons in the hidden layer has the ability to learn anyrelation between the input and output data Transfer functionis the mathematic function that determines the relationbetween neuron output and the network In other wordstransfer function indicates the degree of nonlinearity in thenetwork Practically in the feed forward BP-ANN modelsome limited functions are used as transfer functions [54]Normally the transfer functions of all neurons in the hiddenlayers are similar Also for all neurons in the output layer thesame transfer function is used For the prediction of phenom-ena logistic transfer function is the most conventional trans-fer function that is used in the hidden layers because it is veryeasy to differentiate the sigmoid transfer function used in theBP algorithm [55 56] The sigmoid transfer function is asfollows

4 Development of the ANN Model

An ANN model was considered for the prediction of CO2

mole fraction in the vapor phase In order to describe thephase behavior of the eight R744 (1)-refrigerants (2) binariesby one ANN model a total of eight variables have beenselected in this work four intensive state variables (equi-librium temperature equilibrium pressure and equilibriumCO2mole fractions in the liquid and vapor phases) and four

pure component properties of the refrigerant (normal boilingpoint critical temperature critical pressure and acentricfactor) The choice of the input and output variables wasbased on the phase rule practical considerations (bubble ordew point computation) and the need to describe the eightbinaries by only one ANNmodel Therefore the equilibriumtemperature and pressure and the R744 mole fraction in theliquid phase together with the pure component properties ofthe refrigerant have been selected as input variables and theR744 mole fraction in the vapor phase as output variable

As shown in Figure 2 a multilayer feed forward neuralnetwork structure with a hidden layer was used in this studyANN modeling for the VLE of eight CO

2(1)-refrigerant

(2) binaries was carried out in MATLAB ver 790 programInitially the program starts with the default FFBP-ANN type(newff MATLAB function) the Levenberg-Marquardt BPtraining algorithm (trainlmMATLAB training function) andone hidden layer Once the topology is specified the startingand ending number(s) of neurons in the hidden layer(s) haveto be specified The number of neurons in a hidden layer is

then modified by adding neurons one at a time The proce-dure begins with the logarithmic sigmoid activation functionthen the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function forthe hidden layers and the linear activation function for theoutput layer The results of different runs of the programshow that the bayesian regularization back propagation(BRBP) using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization modelstrain more successfully than models using attenuated train-ing Table 3 shows the structure of the optimizedANNmodelThe weight matrices and bias vectors of the optimized ANNmodel were listed in Table 4 where 119908ih is the input-hiddenlayer connection weight matrix (10 rows and 7 columns)119908hois the hidden layer-output connection weight matrix (1 rowsand 10 columns) 119887h is the hidden neurons bias column vector(10 rows) and 119887o is the output neurons bias column vector (1row and 1 column)

5 Results and Discussion

Using the random selection method 60 of all data wereassigned to the training set 20 of all data were assigned tothe validation set and the rest of the data were used as the testset In the training phase the number of neurons in the hid-den layer was important for the network optimization How-ever decision on the number of hidden layer neurons is diffi-cult because it depends on the specific problem being solvedusing ANN With too few neurons the network may not bepowerful enough for a given learning taskWith a large num-ber of neurons the ANN may memorize the input trainingdata very well so that the network tends to perform poorly onnew test data and is called ldquooverfittingrdquo To prevent the over-fitting issue we should evaluate average absolute deviation(AAD) for train set validation set and test set and they mustbe in the same order of magnitude Absolute deviation (AD)and AAD were calculated from the following relations

The main advantage of using ANNs to predict the VLEdata lies in their ability to learn the relationship between thecomplex VLE data for different binary mixtures The ANNinput is the first layer in the network throughwhich the infor-mation is supplied The number of neurons in the input layerdepends on the network input parameters Hidden layersconnect the input and output layers Hidden layers enrich thenetwork for learning the relation between input and outputdata In theory ANN with only one hidden layer and enoughneurons in the hidden layer has the ability to learn anyrelation between the input and output data Transfer functionis the mathematic function that determines the relationbetween neuron output and the network In other wordstransfer function indicates the degree of nonlinearity in thenetwork Practically in the feed forward BP-ANN modelsome limited functions are used as transfer functions [54]Normally the transfer functions of all neurons in the hiddenlayers are similar Also for all neurons in the output layer thesame transfer function is used For the prediction of phenom-ena logistic transfer function is the most conventional trans-fer function that is used in the hidden layers because it is veryeasy to differentiate the sigmoid transfer function used in theBP algorithm [55 56] The sigmoid transfer function is asfollows

21 ANN Training Algorithm The back-propagation algo-rithm is one of the least mean square methods which is nor-mally used in engineering In a multilayer perceptron eachneuron of a layer is linked to all neurons of the previous layerFigure 1 shows a perceptron with a hidden layer

Each layer output acts as the input to the next neurons Inorder to train multilayer feed forward neural network back-propagation law is used In the first stage all weights andbiases are selected according to small random numbers Inthe second stage input vector 119883

Here the sum acts for ldquokrdquo nodes on the subsequent layer afterthe node ldquo119895rdquo [57] In the learning process there are severalparameters that have influence on the ANN training Theseparameters are the number of iterations number of hiddenlayers and the number of hidden neurons To find the bestarchitecture of the model the best set of the aforementionedparameters based on minimizing the network output errorshould be chosen

4 Development of the ANN Model

An ANN model was considered for the prediction of CO2

mole fraction in the vapor phase In order to describe thephase behavior of the eight R744 (1)-refrigerants (2) binariesby one ANN model a total of eight variables have beenselected in this work four intensive state variables (equi-librium temperature equilibrium pressure and equilibriumCO2mole fractions in the liquid and vapor phases) and four

pure component properties of the refrigerant (normal boilingpoint critical temperature critical pressure and acentricfactor) The choice of the input and output variables wasbased on the phase rule practical considerations (bubble ordew point computation) and the need to describe the eightbinaries by only one ANNmodel Therefore the equilibriumtemperature and pressure and the R744 mole fraction in theliquid phase together with the pure component properties ofthe refrigerant have been selected as input variables and theR744 mole fraction in the vapor phase as output variable

As shown in Figure 2 a multilayer feed forward neuralnetwork structure with a hidden layer was used in this studyANN modeling for the VLE of eight CO

2(1)-refrigerant

(2) binaries was carried out in MATLAB ver 790 programInitially the program starts with the default FFBP-ANN type(newff MATLAB function) the Levenberg-Marquardt BPtraining algorithm (trainlmMATLAB training function) andone hidden layer Once the topology is specified the startingand ending number(s) of neurons in the hidden layer(s) haveto be specified The number of neurons in a hidden layer is

then modified by adding neurons one at a time The proce-dure begins with the logarithmic sigmoid activation functionthen the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function forthe hidden layers and the linear activation function for theoutput layer The results of different runs of the programshow that the bayesian regularization back propagation(BRBP) using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization modelstrain more successfully than models using attenuated train-ing Table 3 shows the structure of the optimizedANNmodelThe weight matrices and bias vectors of the optimized ANNmodel were listed in Table 4 where 119908ih is the input-hiddenlayer connection weight matrix (10 rows and 7 columns)119908hois the hidden layer-output connection weight matrix (1 rowsand 10 columns) 119887h is the hidden neurons bias column vector(10 rows) and 119887o is the output neurons bias column vector (1row and 1 column)

5 Results and Discussion

Using the random selection method 60 of all data wereassigned to the training set 20 of all data were assigned tothe validation set and the rest of the data were used as the testset In the training phase the number of neurons in the hid-den layer was important for the network optimization How-ever decision on the number of hidden layer neurons is diffi-cult because it depends on the specific problem being solvedusing ANN With too few neurons the network may not bepowerful enough for a given learning taskWith a large num-ber of neurons the ANN may memorize the input trainingdata very well so that the network tends to perform poorly onnew test data and is called ldquooverfittingrdquo To prevent the over-fitting issue we should evaluate average absolute deviation(AAD) for train set validation set and test set and they mustbe in the same order of magnitude Absolute deviation (AD)and AAD were calculated from the following relations

4 Development of the ANN Model

An ANN model was considered for the prediction of CO2

mole fraction in the vapor phase In order to describe thephase behavior of the eight R744 (1)-refrigerants (2) binariesby one ANN model a total of eight variables have beenselected in this work four intensive state variables (equi-librium temperature equilibrium pressure and equilibriumCO2mole fractions in the liquid and vapor phases) and four

pure component properties of the refrigerant (normal boilingpoint critical temperature critical pressure and acentricfactor) The choice of the input and output variables wasbased on the phase rule practical considerations (bubble ordew point computation) and the need to describe the eightbinaries by only one ANNmodel Therefore the equilibriumtemperature and pressure and the R744 mole fraction in theliquid phase together with the pure component properties ofthe refrigerant have been selected as input variables and theR744 mole fraction in the vapor phase as output variable

As shown in Figure 2 a multilayer feed forward neuralnetwork structure with a hidden layer was used in this studyANN modeling for the VLE of eight CO

2(1)-refrigerant

(2) binaries was carried out in MATLAB ver 790 programInitially the program starts with the default FFBP-ANN type(newff MATLAB function) the Levenberg-Marquardt BPtraining algorithm (trainlmMATLAB training function) andone hidden layer Once the topology is specified the startingand ending number(s) of neurons in the hidden layer(s) haveto be specified The number of neurons in a hidden layer is

then modified by adding neurons one at a time The proce-dure begins with the logarithmic sigmoid activation functionthen the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function forthe hidden layers and the linear activation function for theoutput layer The results of different runs of the programshow that the bayesian regularization back propagation(BRBP) using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization modelstrain more successfully than models using attenuated train-ing Table 3 shows the structure of the optimizedANNmodelThe weight matrices and bias vectors of the optimized ANNmodel were listed in Table 4 where 119908ih is the input-hiddenlayer connection weight matrix (10 rows and 7 columns)119908hois the hidden layer-output connection weight matrix (1 rowsand 10 columns) 119887h is the hidden neurons bias column vector(10 rows) and 119887o is the output neurons bias column vector (1row and 1 column)

5 Results and Discussion

Using the random selection method 60 of all data wereassigned to the training set 20 of all data were assigned tothe validation set and the rest of the data were used as the testset In the training phase the number of neurons in the hid-den layer was important for the network optimization How-ever decision on the number of hidden layer neurons is diffi-cult because it depends on the specific problem being solvedusing ANN With too few neurons the network may not bepowerful enough for a given learning taskWith a large num-ber of neurons the ANN may memorize the input trainingdata very well so that the network tends to perform poorly onnew test data and is called ldquooverfittingrdquo To prevent the over-fitting issue we should evaluate average absolute deviation(AAD) for train set validation set and test set and they mustbe in the same order of magnitude Absolute deviation (AD)and AAD were calculated from the following relations

4 Development of the ANN Model

An ANN model was considered for the prediction of CO2

mole fraction in the vapor phase In order to describe thephase behavior of the eight R744 (1)-refrigerants (2) binariesby one ANN model a total of eight variables have beenselected in this work four intensive state variables (equi-librium temperature equilibrium pressure and equilibriumCO2mole fractions in the liquid and vapor phases) and four

pure component properties of the refrigerant (normal boilingpoint critical temperature critical pressure and acentricfactor) The choice of the input and output variables wasbased on the phase rule practical considerations (bubble ordew point computation) and the need to describe the eightbinaries by only one ANNmodel Therefore the equilibriumtemperature and pressure and the R744 mole fraction in theliquid phase together with the pure component properties ofthe refrigerant have been selected as input variables and theR744 mole fraction in the vapor phase as output variable

As shown in Figure 2 a multilayer feed forward neuralnetwork structure with a hidden layer was used in this studyANN modeling for the VLE of eight CO

2(1)-refrigerant

(2) binaries was carried out in MATLAB ver 790 programInitially the program starts with the default FFBP-ANN type(newff MATLAB function) the Levenberg-Marquardt BPtraining algorithm (trainlmMATLAB training function) andone hidden layer Once the topology is specified the startingand ending number(s) of neurons in the hidden layer(s) haveto be specified The number of neurons in a hidden layer is

then modified by adding neurons one at a time The proce-dure begins with the logarithmic sigmoid activation functionthen the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function forthe hidden layers and the linear activation function for theoutput layer The results of different runs of the programshow that the bayesian regularization back propagation(BRBP) using Levenberg-Marquardt optimization modelstrain more successfully than models using attenuated train-ing Table 3 shows the structure of the optimizedANNmodelThe weight matrices and bias vectors of the optimized ANNmodel were listed in Table 4 where 119908ih is the input-hiddenlayer connection weight matrix (10 rows and 7 columns)119908hois the hidden layer-output connection weight matrix (1 rowsand 10 columns) 119887h is the hidden neurons bias column vector(10 rows) and 119887o is the output neurons bias column vector (1row and 1 column)

5 Results and Discussion

Using the random selection method 60 of all data wereassigned to the training set 20 of all data were assigned tothe validation set and the rest of the data were used as the testset In the training phase the number of neurons in the hid-den layer was important for the network optimization How-ever decision on the number of hidden layer neurons is diffi-cult because it depends on the specific problem being solvedusing ANN With too few neurons the network may not bepowerful enough for a given learning taskWith a large num-ber of neurons the ANN may memorize the input trainingdata very well so that the network tends to perform poorly onnew test data and is called ldquooverfittingrdquo To prevent the over-fitting issue we should evaluate average absolute deviation(AAD) for train set validation set and test set and they mustbe in the same order of magnitude Absolute deviation (AD)and AAD were calculated from the following relations

2-R32 at 343K and CO

2-

R116 binary mixture at 2533 K The AAD results show thatANN model results are very close to the thermodynamicmodels Also ANN model can predict azeotropic conditionfor the CO

2-R116 binarymixture Finally the advantage of the

ANN model is its applicability for the eight CO2-containing

binary mixtures while the thermodynamic models are usedfor an especially binary mixture
