Abstract
Reactor is widely used in biology, chemical industry, metallurgy, environmental protection and other fields, playing an irreplaceable role. With the development of science and technology and the concept of green development, the application of artificial neural network to optimize the reactor reaction conditions has become a trend. Artificial neural network plays an important role in reactor optimization because of its strong fault tolerance, the ability to express complex nonlinear relations and perform complex operations. This paper will briefly describe the basic principle and research progress of artificial neural network, and its application in reactor design.
Keywords: Artificial neural network, chemical reactor, BP neural network, optimal design
