Smart predictive viscosity mixing of CO2-N2 using optimized dendritic neural networks to implicate for carbon capture utilization and storage

Crucial for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) initiatives and diverse industries, heat transfer underscores the need for a precise assessment of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) viscosities in gaseous blends across various temperatures. This research pioneers an intelligent model by enhancing the dendritic neural regression (DNR) framework, employing the Seagull Optimization Algorithm with Marine Predator Algorithm (SOAMPA) for optimal predictions. Leveraging recent advancements in metaheuristic optimization techniques, the study reveals the superior performance of the novel SOAMPA approach in predictive accuracy, marking a significant breakthrough in predicting CO2-N2 mixture viscosities with implications for advancing CCUS projects and diverse industries. The optimized DNR model, empowered by the modified SOAMPA optimization technique, contributes to estimating the viscosity of N2-CO2 mixture gases. Utilizing inputs like pressure, temperature, mole fraction of N2, and model fraction of CO2, the models are trained and tested on a dataset comprising over 3030 data samples from public literature. Key contributions encompass proposing an optimized DNR approach, introducing the modified SOAMPA technique, and demonstrating its superiority over established optimization methods in conjunction with the traditional DNR model for predicting viscosity based on real experimental datasets.
