An artificial neural network (ANN) was developed on MATLAB platform for predicting the reaction furnace temperature. Three important variable of the reaction furnace: fuel gas spiking, air and acid gas temperature and H2S concentration were fed...

with the DSMC data for slip velocity and surface gas temperature. The accuracy of these boundary conditions is superior to the conventional Maxwell, Smoluchowski and Le boundary conditions....

It is vital for the designers of the throttling facilities to predict natural gas temperature drop along a throttling valve exactly. Generally, direct prediction of the temperature drop is not possible even by employing equations of states...
