Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network by Fares Almomani (12585685)

“…An ANN model consists of three layers, 15 neutrons and 260 <i>epochs</i> accurately predict the CMP with 99.1% of data within ±10% deviation of the mean experimental value. The developed model can be used to forecast the CMP as a function of operating temperature, the substrate composition, and chemical dose, and can be used for scaling-up and cost analysis purposes.…”
