Abstract

Spinning cone column as a distillation tower has various applications in food industry. It has a complex geometric structure which makes the modeling of liquid and gas regimes in the column rather difficult.In the last decade, artificial neural networks have been used in various industries considerably. Unlike empirical correlation, neural network does not require physical mechanism which occurs in column. Therefore, in this research the effect of tray speed, pressure drop, cone spacing, and flooding for both small and large scales operation has been examined using artificial neural network. Furthermore, variation of gas and liquid flow rate in an industrial scale spinning cone column has also been evaluated. To obtain this objective, multilayer perceptron structure and Levenberg-Marquart training algorithm has been utilized. The findings of this study reveal that the predictions of this work are much accurate than those obtained from the existing empirical correlation. There also exists a good compatibility between the pressure drop values predicted from the present study and the experimental data in both dry and wet state (normalized bias = −0.00232, mean squared error =0.0021, and root mean squared error = 0.0021). From the scheme adopted in this work, the spinning cone column capacity at different operating conditions could be estimated more accurately than the exiting correlations.
