Novel and robust machine learning approach for estimating the fouling factor in heat exchangers

The fouling factor (Rf) is an operating index for measuring an undesirable effect of solids’ deposition on the heat transfer ability of heat exchangers. Accurate prediction of the fouling factor helps appropriate scheduling of the cleaning cycles. Since diverse factors affect this operating feature,...
