Abstract

This paper presents the application of an artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a model able to predict the holdup of a two-phase flow composed of water and mineral oil in a horizontal pipe. The surface velocities of each fluid and the pressure differential in the pipe are used as input parameters of the multi-layer artificial neural network with back-propagation, while the volumetric fraction of the fluids is used as an output parameter in the training. The 56 experimental data were obtained in the laboratory LabPetro-CEPETRO-UNICAMP. The results of the predictive model with the best performance show a mean absolute error (AAPE) of 3.01 % and a coefficient of determination R^2 of 0.9964, using 15 neurons in the hidden layer of the network and the TanSig transfer function.
