Estimation and sensitivity analysis of fouling resistance in phosphoric acid/steam heat exchanger using artificial neural networks and regression methods

Abstract One of the most frequent problem in phosphoric acid concentration plant is the heat exchanger build-up. This problem causes a reduction of the performance of this equipment and an increase of energy losses which lead to damage the apparatus. In this study, estimation of fouling resistance i...
