Description

[39]

Al2O3

EG

R2 = 0.9997

The SVF was 0–2% by and T = 25–60° C

[40]

The Al2O3, ZnO- CuO

Water

The proposed ANN model had up to 2% error

SVF and T were considered as inputs and ANN as TC outputs

[41]

Al2O3-TiO2- CuO

(CMC)

The average TC prediction data error was 1.6% with a maximum 5.8% error

TC of NFs does not show a significant increase for SVF up to 1.5%
