Study on Post-Dryout Heat Transfer by Using Wavelet Neural Network

Wavelet transformation has the ability of representing a function and revealing the properties of the function in the joint local regions of the time frequency space. Based on wavelet and artificial neural network, a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) model predicting the average post-dry out Nusselt number for upward flow in vertical narrow annuli with bilateral heating has been developed. The WNN mode combining the properties of the wavelet transform and the advantages of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) has some advantages of solving non-linear problem.
