Why is it important?

Waste heat recovery is essential for improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and supporting a circular economy. Double-stage heat transformers play a crucial role in repurposing waste heat, but their performance depends on complex variable interactions. Artificial neural networks provide an effective approach to optimizing these systems, ensuring better energy utilization and sustainability. This research offers valuable insights into AI-driven optimization for industrial energy management.

Perspectives

Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning techniques like neural networks, can revolutionize thermal system optimization by handling nonlinear interactions and dynamic conditions. Future advancements could integrate real-time adaptive learning models, improving efficiency and making waste heat recovery systems more intelligent and responsive to changing environmental and operational factors.
