Towards an intelligent integrated methodology for accurate determination of volume percentages in three-phase flow systems by Abdullah M. Iliyasu, Mohammad Sh. Daoud, Ahmed Sayed Salama, John William Grimaldo Guerrero, Kaoru Hirota

“…Finally, to determine the volume percentages, we employ a support vector regression (SVR) neural network, which is trained on a refined dataset with capability to handle complex relationships and high-dimensional data. The proposed approach demonstrates superior accuracy in determining volume percentages of three-phase fluids compared to traditional methods, thereby making it an effective and integrated technique to analyse fluid composition in a variety of industrial settings and applications.…”
