Abstract

In this study, to have an accurate approximation of dynamic viscosity, radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) is employed and developed for normal alkanes. This is done by considering the distinct number of carbons in n-alkanes, certain temperatures, and different pressures. Moreover, in order to train and test the predicting model, a databank of 228 experimental data is gathered from reliable sources in the literature. As a result, training and testing coefficient values are measured 0.99739 and 0.99051; consequently, the robustness and accuracy of RBF-ANN in providing an estimation of n-alkane viscosity is confirmed by graphical analysis and determined indexes.
