TY - JOUR AU - Dlamini, Jian AU - Li, Abdullah AU - Saleh, Chidi TI - Free-Convection Heat Transfer using Support Vector Machine JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2016 VL - 40 IS - 2 SP - 116 EP - 141 AB - Environmental pressures and resource constraints have brought free-convection heat transfer to the forefront of research on rural electrification. The methodology coupled support vector machine with statistical analysis to quantify the associated uncertainty. The largest improvement, close to 46%, was obtained for the case with 7 stages. The approach shows considerable promise for large-scale deployment with only modest modification of existing infrastructure.
