Abstract
This research study presents an investigation on the behavior of a Pulsating Heat Pipe Flat-Plate Solar Collector (PHPFPSC) by artificial neural network method and an optimization of the parameters of the collector by genetic algorithm. In this study, several experiments were performed to study the effects of various evaporator lengths, filling ratios, inclination angles, solar radiation, and input chilled water temperature between 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and the output temperature of the water tank, which was the output of the system, was also measured. According to the input and output information, multilayer perceptron neural network was trained and used to predict the behavior of the...
