Abstract
The performance of a hybrid solar desalination system is predicted in this work using an enhanced prediction method based on a supervised machine-learning algorithm. A humidification–
dehumidification (HDH) unit and a single-stage flashing evaporation (SSF) unit make up the hybrid solar desalination system. The Al-Biruni Earth Radius (BER) and Particle Swarm Optimization
(PSO) algorithms serve as the foundation for the suggested algorithm. Using experimental data, the BER–PSO algorithm is trained and evaluated. The cold fluid and injected air volume flow rates were the algorithms’ inputs, and their outputs were the hot and cold fluids’ outlet temperatures as well as the pressure drop across the heat exchanger. Both the volume mass flow rate of hot fluid and the input temperatures of hot and cold fluids are regarded as constants. The results obtained show the great ability of the proposed BER–PSO method to identify the nonlinear link between operating circumstances and process responses. In addition, compared to the other analyzed models, it offers better statistical performance measures for the prediction of the outlet temperature of hot and cold fluids and pressure drop values
