Summary

This study deals with predicting the mass flow rate of R-134a/LPG as refrigerant inside a straight and helical coiled adiabatic capillary tube of vapor compression refrigeration system by combining dimensionless analysis and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System techniques. For this purpose the experimental system was designed and tested under steady state conditions, by changing the length of the capillary tube, the inner diameter of the capillary tube, the coil diameter and the degree of subcooling of the refrigerant at the capillary tube inlet. Dimensional analysis was utilized to provide generalized dimensionless parameters and to reduce the number of input parameters, while Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System was applied as a generalized approximator of the nonlinear multi-input and single-output function. The comparison of the absolute fraction of variance (R2) (0.998 and 0.961), the root mean square error (RMSE) (0.105 kg/h and 0.489 kg/h) and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) (0.954% and 4.75%) demonstrated the result for combination of dimensional analysis and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System and dimensionless correlation model predictions respectively. The results indicated that the combination of dimensional analysis and Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference System gave the best statistical prediction efficiency.
