Abstract

In the present investigation, artificial neural networks are applied to model scattering and absorption properties occurring inparticle radiation interaction for numerical simulation of pulverized coal combustion. To determine averaged scattering andabsorption properties, an averaging procedure over spectral incident radiation profile and particle size distribution is applied.These averaged properties then are approximated by means of an artificial neural network. A study to determine a suitablenetwork architecture is performed.
