Hybrid intelligence methods for modeling the diffusivity of light hydrocarbons in bitumen

The solvent diffusivity is considered as a key factor in the design of solvent assisted processes in the bitumen field. In this study, a novel Adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) is employed to evaluate the diffusivity of the light hydrocarbons in the bitumen system. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) are adopted to promote ANFIS efficiency. The proposed models are established by a prepared dataset from...
