...Anomitra Chakraborty; Pranitha Janapatla Purpose In the present article, sensitivity analysis was studied in the presence of the combined effects of thermal radiation, suction and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) effects on a Nimonic 80A-Fe_3O4/water hybrid nanofluid across...

... variable, the authors perform sensitivity analysis with the aid of response surface methodology (RSM). Moreover, this study enlightens the applications of artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting the temperature gradient. The governing modeled equations are firstly non-dimensionalized...

.... The results from PSO were compared with RSM and the optimized input welding parameters for the electrode current, hot wire current and wire feed rate exhibited maximum ultimate tensile strength which were also confirmed from response and contour plots. Originality/value Sensitivity analysis was also...
