Abstract: | Accuracy of seven semi empirical equations for the estimation of solubility of 30 different compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide has been compared with a new neural network method. To base this comparison on a fair basis, a unique set of experimental data was used for both optimization of semi empirical equations’ parameters and training, validation and testing of neural network. Results showed that neural network method with an average relative deviation of about 5.3% was more accurate than the best semi empirical equation with an average relative deviation of about 15.96% for same compounds. It was also found that the average relative deviation of semi empirical equations varies sharply among different compounds, while this quantity is less dependent on material type for neural network method. |
