Synopsis:
Advancements in Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), machine learning, and deep learning are transforming the way complex science and engineering problems are addressed, offering solutions where traditional methods fall short. These technologies enable accurate modeling and analysis in areas such as heat transfer, desalination processes, pollutant biodegradability, and material science, contributing to sustainable development and innovative engineering practices. By applying these methods, researchers can enhance efficiency, optimize resource use, and tackle pressing environmental challenges. This integration of advanced computational tools into real-world applications represents a significant leap forward in addressing multidisciplinary engineering and scientific challenges. Expert Artificial Neural Network Applications for Science and Engineering provides a complete understanding of the ANNs for engineering practices. It discusses current developments in solving complicated engineering problems that cannot be solved using traditional methods. Covering topics such as industrial equipment reliability, manufacturing processes, and air quality forecasting, this book is an excellent resource for mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, biomedical engineers, computer scientists, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.

|Antonio Sousa - Editor|Dr. Antonio C. M. Sousa is a Professor Emeritus of University of New Brunswick (Canada) and he is currently a Principal Investigator of TEMA, the R&D Unit of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Aveiro (Portugal), and an Invited Full Professor of this department. He received his MSc and PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal-Fluids) from the Victoria University of Manchester (UMIST), England, UK, in 1974 and 1977, respectively. Prior to his graduate studies he had three years of academic and industrial activity. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Brasília, Brazil soon after the award of his PhD degree, first as Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies and later on as Acting Chair. Late in 1977, he moved, as Senior Engineer and Head of the Thermal-Fluids Division of the Fuel Department, to the Brazilian Nuclear Companies, SA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He participated in the First Fuel Reload Project of Angra I Westinghouse 600 MWe PWR. After the project was successfully completed in 1980, he took an Associate Professorship with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of New Brunswick (UNB); in 1985 he was promoted to Full Professor. In 2010 he retired from University of New Brunswick and he became a Full Professor at University of Aveiro on a full-time basis and from 2011 to 2015 he served as Director of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. From 2016 on, he has maintained close collaboration with the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion – Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), while remaining a member of TEMA. At CAS, from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018, he was Presidential Initiative Fellow and Visiting Professor, Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and since then Senior Consultant. In addition to the positions already mentioned, he was Director - Coordinator, Centre of Extension Studies, University of Macao (01/1995 -12/1996), and Member, Board of Directors, Centre for Productivity and Technology Transfer of Macao (05/1996 - 09/1998).
