Abstract
This paper presents an eco-design approach to the synthesis of a highly efficient Cr(VI) adsorbent, utilizing a positively charged surface mesoporous FDU-12 material (designated as MI-Cl-FDU-12) for the first time. The MI-Cl-FDU-12 anion-exchange adsorbent was synthesized via a facile one-pot synthesis approach using sodium silicate extracted from sorghum waste as a green silica source, 1-methyl-3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium chloride as a functionalization agent, triblock copolymer F127 as a templating or pore-directing agent, trimethyl benzene as a swelling agent, KCl as an additive, and water as a solvent. The synthesis method offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to the production of a so-called "green" adsorbent with a bimodal micro-/mesoporous structure and a high surface area comparable with the previous reports regarding FDU-12 synthesis. MI-Cl-FDU-12 was applied as an anion exchanger for the adsorption of toxic Cr(VI) oxyanions from aqueous media and various kinetic and isotherm models were fitted to experimental data to propose the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) on the adsorbent. Langmuir model revealed the best fit to the experimental data at four different temperatures, indicating a homogeneous surface site affinity. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of the adsorbent were found to be 363.5, 385.5, 409.0, and 416.9 mg g-1 at 298, 303, 308, and 313 K, respectively; at optimal conditions (pH=2, adsorbent dose=3.0 mg, and contact time of 30 min), surpassing that of most previously reported Cr(VI) adsorbents in the literature. A regeneration study revealed that this adsorbent possesses outstanding performance even after six consecutive recycling.

Abstract
It is impossible to optimize a process for a target drug product with the desired profile without a proper understanding of the interplay among the material attributes, the process parameters, and the attributes of the drug product. There is a particular need to bridge the micro- and mesoscale events that occur during this process. Here, we propose а molecular engineering methodology for the continuous cocrystallization process, based on Raman spectra measured experimentally with a probe and from quantum mechanical calculations. Using molecular dynamics simulations, the theoretical Raman spectra were calculated from first principles for local mixture structures under an external shear force at various temperatures. A proof of concept is developed to build the process design space from the computed data. We show that the determined process design space provides valuable insight for optimizing the cocrystallization process at the nanoscale, where experimental measurements are difficult and/or inapplicable. The results suggest that our method may be used to target cocrystallization processes at the molecular scale for improved pharmaceutical synthesis.

Abstract
This work investigates the performances of coconut shell waste-based activated carbon (CSWAC) adsorption in batch studies for removal of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) and refractory pollutants (as indicated by decreasing COD concentration) from landfill leachate. To valorize unused resources, coconut shell, recovered and recycled from agricultural waste, was converted into activated carbon, which can be used for leachate treatment. The ozonation of the CSWAC was conducted to enhance its removal performance for target pollutants. The adsorption mechanisms of refractory pollutants by the adsorbent are proposed. Perspectives on nutrient recovery technologies from landfill leachate from the view-points of downstream processing are presented. Their removal efficiencies for both recalcitrant compounds and ammoniacal nitrogen were compared to those of other techniques reported in previous work. It is found that the ozonated CSWAC substantially removed COD (i.e. 76%) as well as NH3-N (i.e. 75%), as compared to the CSWAC without pretreatment (i.e. COD: 44%; NH3-N: 51%) with NH3-N and COD concentrations of 2750 and 8500 mg/L, respectively. This reveals the need of ozonation for the adsorbent to improve its performance for the removal of COD and NH3-N at optimized reactions: 30 g/L of CSWAC, pH 8, 200 rpm of shaking speed and 20 min of reaction time. Nevertheless, treatment of the leachate samples using the ozonated CSWAC alone was still unable to result in treated effluents that could meet the COD and NH3-N discharge standards below 200 and 5 mg/L, respectively, set by legislative requirements. This reveals that another treatment is necessary to be undertaken to comply with the requirement of their effluent limit.

Abstract
High-performance novel iron oxyhydroxide (limonite) nanostructure, with improved surface reactive sites, was prepared via one-pot, eco-friendly, free precursor and cold glow discharge N2-plasma technique. Natural and plasma treated (PTNL/N2) limonite samples were characterized by FESEM, XPS, XRD, FTIR, AAS, EDX, BET/BJH and pHpzc to confirm the successful synthesis. Central composite design (CCD) and artificial neural network (ANN, topology of 4:8:1) methods were utilized to study the oxidation/mineralization of phenazopyridine (PhP) as a hazardous contaminant by heterogeneous catalytic ozonation process (HCOP). The obtained results indicated that PTNL/N2 had the highest catalytic performance in PhP degradation (98.6% in 40 min) and mineralization (80.4% in 120 min). The degradation mechanism in different processes was investigated by dissolved ozone concentration, various organic scavengers (BQ and TBA) and inorganic salts (NaNO3, NaCl, Na2CO3 and NaH2PO4). Moreover, reusability-stability, Fe and nitrogen (NO3- and NH4+) ions release were assessed during different AOPs. Furthermore, toxicity tests indicated that the HCOP using PTNL/N2 was able to detoxify the PhP solutions efficiently. Finally, Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies were employed to introduce the most plausible contaminant degradation pathway, reactive sites and byproducts. This research provided a new insight into the improvement of wastewater treatment studies by a combination of experiment and computer simulation.

Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of integrated ammonium stripping and/or coconut shell waste-based activated carbon (CSWAC) adsorption in treating leachate samples. To valorize unused biomass for water treatment application, the adsorbent originated from coconut shell waste. To enhance its performance for target pollutants, the adsorbent was pretreated with ozone and NaOH. The effects of pH, temperature, and airflow rate on the removal of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) and refractory pollutants were studied during stripping alone. The removal performances of refractory compounds in this study were compared to those of other treatments previously reported. To contribute new knowledge to the field of study, perspectives on nutrients removal and recovery like phosphorus and nitrogen are presented. It was found that the ammonium stripping and adsorption treatment using the ozonated CSWAC attained an almost complete removal (99%) of NH3-N and 90% of COD with initial NH3-N and COD concentrations of 2500 mg/L and 20,000 mg/L, respectively, at optimized conditions. With the COD of treated effluents higher than 200 mg/L, the combined treatments were not satisfactory enough to remove target refractory compounds. Therefore, further biological processes are required to complete their biodegradation to meet the effluent limit set by environmental legislation. As this work has contributed to resource recovery as the driving force of landfill management, it is important to note the investment and operational expenses, engineering applicability of the technologies, and their environmental concerns and benefits. If properly managed, nutrient recovery from waste streams offers environmental and socio-economic benefits that would improve public health and create jobs for the local community.

Abstract
Recently Xiamen (China) has encountered various challenges of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) such as lack of a complete garbage sorting and recycling system, the absence of waste segregation between organic and dry waste at source, and a shortage of complete and clear information about the MSW generated. This article critically analyzes the existing bottlenecks in its waste management system and discusses the way forward for the city to enhance its MSWM by drawing lessons from Hong Kong's effectiveness in dealing with the same problems over the past decades. Solutions to the MSWM problem are not only limited to technological options, but also integrate environmental, legal, and institutional perspectives. The solutions include (1) enhancing source separation and improving recycling system; (2) improving the legislation system of the MSWM; (3) improvement of terminal disposal facilities in the city; (4) incorporating digitization into MSWM; and (5) establishing standards and definitions for recycled products and/or recyclable materials. We also evaluate and compare different aspects of MSWM in Xiamen and Hong Kong SAR (special administrative region) under the framework of 'One Country, Two Systems' concerning environmental policies, generation, composition, characteristics, treatment, and disposal of their MSW. The nexus of society, economics of the MSW, and the environment in the sustainability sphere are established by promoting local recycling industries and the standardization of recycled products and/or recyclable materials. The roles of digitization technologies in the 4th Industrial Revolution for waste reduction in the framework of circular economy (CE) are also elaborated. This technological solution may improve the city's MSWM in terms of public participation in MSW separation through reduction, recycle, reuse, recovery, and repair (5Rs) schemes. To meet top-down policy goals such as a 35% recycling rate for the generated waste by 2030, incorporating digitization into the MSWM provides the city with technology-driven waste solutions.

Abstract
We employed a new approach in the field of social sciences or psychological aspects of teaching besides using a very common software package that is Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new domain that the methods of its data analysis could provide the researchers with new insights for their research studies and more innovative ways to analyze their data or verify the data with this method. Also, a very significant element in teaching is teacher motivation that is the trigger that pushes the teachers forward, depending on some internal and external factors. In the current study, seven research questions were designed to explore different aspects of teacher motivation, and they were analyzed via SPSS. The current study also compared the results by using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Due to the similarity of ANFIS to humans' brain intelligence, the results of the current study could be similar to humans regarding what happens in reality. To do so, the researchers used the validated teacher motivation scale (TMS) and asked participants to fill the questionnaire, and analyzed the results. When the inputs were added to the ANFIS system, the model indicated a high accuracy and prediction capability. The findings also illustrated the importance of the tuning model parameters for the ANFIS method to build up the AI model with a high repeatability level. The differences between the results and conclusions are discussed in detail in the article.

Abstract
Continuous co-crystallization in a twin-screw granulator is a promising technology. In order to fundamentally optimize the process flow, it is necessary to investigate the kinetics of molecular interactions within the mixture and the effect of these interactions on co-crystal formation. In this study, the processes governing the co-crystallization of ibuprofen and nicotinamide were considered. Density functional theory calculations employing the Hirshfeld partitioning scheme were used to identify donor-acceptor sites on each molecule. A total of twenty-one different molecular interactions was identified (nine of ibuprofen and nicotinamide (resembling co-crystals), three of ibuprofen and itself (resembling the ibuprofen dimer), and nine of nicotinamide and itself (resembling the nicotinamide dimer)). Each interaction was defined as an artificial reversible reaction and the kinetics were calculated using the transition state theory of chemical reactions, where linear and quadratic synchronous transition methods were utilized to identify transition-state structures; the minimum energy path was determined using the nudged elastic band method. A kinetic Monte Carlo framework was used to study the collective/coupled effect of reactions on the progress of the co-crystallization process. it was found that operating at low temperatures (especially lower or very close to the melting temperature of ibuprofen) for longer residency times creates a safe route for maximizing the presence of ibuprofen and nicotinamide co-crystals. If the proposed route is applied, the purity and properties of the produced co-crystal would be significant, especially its desirable availability within the body.

Abstract
Discovery of novel cocrystal systems and improvement of their physicochemical properties dominates the current literature on cocrystals yet the required end-product formulation is rarely addressed. Drug product manufacturing includes complex API solid state processing steps such as milling, granulation, and tableting. These all require high mechanical stress which can lead to solid-state phase transformations into polymorphs and solvates, or lead to dissociation of cocrystals into their individual components. Here we measured the effect of tablet excipients on solid-state processing of a range of pharmaceutical cocrystal formulations. Our findings were rationalised using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of intermolecular binding energies of cocrystal constituents and co-milling excipients. A 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of API Theophylline (THP) and co-former 4-Aminobenzoic acid (4ABA) was co-milled with five different excipients: hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), lactose, and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The experiments were carried out in 10 and 25 ml milling jars at 30 Hz for different milling times. Co-milled samples were characterised for formation of cocrystals and phase transformation using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Our data shows that co-milling in the presence of PEG, HMPC or lactose yields purer cocrystals, supported by the calculated stronger excipient interactions for PVP and MCC. We identify a suitably-prepared THP-4ABA pharmaceutical cocrystal formulation that is stable under extended milling conditions.

Abstract
Treatment of textile wastewater using ultrafiltration membranes was carried out in this study. Since membrane fouling is a major operational problem that decreases the membrane separation efficiency, wastewater was treated with polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and alum (aluminum sulfate) as coagulant to decrease the fouling of ultrafiltration membranes. PACl was selected as the best coagulant in the experiments. Also, chitosan was used as coagulant aid upon developing the hybrid process. The obtained optimum dosage of PACl coagulant was 100 mg/L, and maximum turbidity and COD removal of 35% and 66% were attained, respectively. The pretreated wastewater by coagulation was sent to ultrafiltration process for further removal of turbidity and COD. Three ultrafiltration hollow-fiber membranes made of polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyethersulfone (PES) were applied in this study. In general, the filtration results were evaluated for two types of samples treated under coagulation and without treatment; the results were unfavorable for the second type. The effects of transmembrane pressure (TMP) and cross velocity on membranes performance were also investigated for process optimization. The obtained results showed that PVDF membrane had the highest flux and turbidity removal, whereas the PES membrane had the highest COD removal. Also, the results revealed that turbidity and COD removal by all membranes were decreased by increasing TMP and cross velocity.

Abstract
Porous hollow fibres made of polyvinylidene fluoride were employed as membrane contactor for carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption in a gas–liquid mode with methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) based nanofluid absorbent. Both theoretical and experimental works were carried out in which a mechanistic model was developed that considers the mass transfer of components in all subdomains of the contactor module. Also, the model considers convectional mass transfer in shell and tube subdomains with the chemical reaction as well as Grazing and Brownian motion of nanoparticles effects. The predicted outputs of the developed model and simulations showed that the dispersion of CNT nanoparticles to MDEA-based solvent improves CO2 capture percentage compared to the pure solvent. In addition, the efficiency of CO2 capture for MDEA-based nanofluid was increased with rising MDEA content, liquid flow rate and membrane porosity. On the other hand, the enhancement of gas velocity and the membrane tortuosity led to reduced CO2 capture efficiency in the module. Moreover, it was revealed that the CNT nanoparticles effect on CO2 removal is higher in the presence of lower MDEA concentration (5%) in the solvent. The model was validated by comparing with the experimental data, and great agreement was obtained.

Abstract
To understand impact of input and output parameters during optimization and degree of complexity, in the current study we numerically designed a bubble column reactor with a single sparger in the middle of the reactor. After that, some input and output parameters were selected in the post-processing of the numerical method, and then the machine learning observation started to investigate the level of complexity and impact of each input on output parameters. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) method was exploited as a machine learning approach to analyze the gas-liquid flow in the reactor. The ANFIS method was used as a machine learning approach to simulate the flow of a 3D (three-dimensional) bubble column reactor. This model was also used to analyze the influence of input and output parameters together. More specifically, by analyzing the degree of membership functions as a function of each input, the level of complexity of gas fraction was investigated as a function of computing nodes (X, Y, and Z directions). The results showed that a higher number of membership functions results in a better understanding of the process and higher model accuracy and prediction capability. X and Y computing nodes have a similar impact on the gas fraction, while Z computing points (height of reactor) have a uniform distribution of membership function across the column. Four membership functions (MFs) in each input parameter are insufficient to predict the gas fraction in the 3D bubble column reactor. However, by adding two membership functions, all features of gas fraction in the 3D reactor can be captured by the machine learning algorithm. Indeed, the degree of MFs was considered as a function of each input parameter and the effective parameter was found based on the impact of MFs on the output.

Abstract
The present study has focused on the degradation of phenazopyridine (PhP) as an emerging contaminant through catalytic ozonation by novel plasma treated natural limonite (FeOOH·xH2O, NL) under argon atmosphere (PTL/Ar). The physical and chemical characteristics of samples were evaluated with different analyses. The obtained results demonstrated higher surface area for PTL/Ar and negligible change in crystal structure, compared to NL. It was found that the synergistic effect between ozone and PTL/Ar nanocatalyst was led to highest PhP degradation efficiency. The kinetic study confirmed the pseudo-first-order reaction for the PhP degradation processes included adsorption, peroxone and ozonation, catalytic ozonation with NL and PTL/Ar. Long term application (6 cycles) confirmed the high stability of the PTL/Ar. Moreover, different organic and inorganic salts as well as the dissolved ozone concentration demonstrated the predominant role of hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals in PhP degradation by catalytic Ozonation using PTL/Ar. The main produced intermediates during PhP oxidation by PTL/Ar catalytic ozonation were identified using LC–(+ESI)–MS technique. Finally, the negligible iron leaching, higher mineralization rate, lower electrical energy consumption and excellent catalytic activity of PTL/Ar samples demonstrate the superior application of non-thermal plasma for treatment of NL.

Abstract
Design and development of efficient processes for continuous manufacturing of solid dosage oral formulations is of crucial importance for pharmaceutical industry in order to implement the Quality-by-Design paradigm. Supercritical solvent-based manufacturing can be utilized in pharmaceutical processing owing to its inherent operational advantages. However, in order to evaluate the possibility of supercritical processing for a particular medicine, solubility measurement needs to be carried out prior to process design. The current work reports a systematic solubility analysis on decitabine as an anti-cancer medicine. The solvent is supercritical carbon dioxide at different conditions (temperatures and pressures), while gravimetric technique is used to obtain the solubility data for decitabine. The results indicated that the solubility of decitabine varies between 2.84 × 10–05 and 1.07 × 10–03 mol fraction depending on the temperature and pressure. In the experiments, temperature and pressure varied between 308–338 K and 12–40 MPa, respectively. The solubility of decitabine was plotted against temperature and pressure, and it turned out that the solubility had direct relation with the pressure due to the effect of pressure on solvating power of solvent. The effect of temperature on solubility was shown to be dependent on the cross-over pressure. Below the cross-over pressure, there is a reverse relation between temperature and solubility, while a direct relation was observed above the cross-over pressure (16 MPa). Theoretical study was carried out to correlate the solubility data using several thermodynamic-based models. The fitting and model calibration indicated that the examined models were of linear nature and capable to predict the measured decitabine solubilities with the highest average absolute relative deviation percent (AARD %) of 8.9%.

Abstract
In predicting the turbulence property of gas (bubble) flow in the domain of continuous fluid and liquid, the integration of machine learning and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods reduces the overall computational time. This combination enables us to see the effective input parameters in the engineering process and the impact of operating conditions on final outputs, such as gas hold-up, heat and mass transfer, and the flow regime (uniform bubble distribution or nonuniform bubble properties). This paper uses the combination of machine learning and single-size calculation of the Eulerian method to estimate the gas flow distribution in the continuous liquid fluid. To present the machine-learning method besides the Eulerian method, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is used to train the CFD finding and then estimate the flow based on the machine-learning method. The gas velocity and turbulent eddy dissipation rate are trained throughout the bubble column reactor (BCR) for each CFD node, and the artificial BCR is predicted by the ANFIS method. This smart reactor can represent the artificial CFD of the BCR, resulting in the reduction of expensive numerical simulations. The results showed that the number of inputs could significantly change this method's accuracy, representing the intelligence of method in the learning data set. Additionally, the membership function specifications can impact the accuracy, particularly, when the process is trained with different inputs. The turbulent eddy dissipation rate can also be predicted by the ANFIS method with a similar model pattern for air superficial gas velocity.

Abstract
In the pharmaceutical manufacturing, drug release behavior development is remained as one of the main challenges to improve the drug effectiveness. Recently, more focus has been done on using mesoporous silica materials as drug carriers for prolonged and superior control of drug release in human body. In this study, release behavior of paracetamol is developed using drug-loaded KCC-1-NH2 mesoporous silica, based on direct compaction method for preparation of tablets. The purpose of this study is to investigate the utilizing of pure KCC-1 mesoporous silica (KCC-1) and amino functionalized KCC-1 (KCC-1-NH2) as drug carriers in oral solid dosage formulations compared to common excipient, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), to improve the control of drug release rate by manipulating surface chemistry of the carrier. Different formulations of KCC-1 and KCC-NH2 are designed to investigate the effect of functionalized mesoporous silica as carrier on drug controlled-release rate. The results displayed the remarkable effect of KCC-1-NH2 on drug controlled-release in comparison with the formulation containing pure KCC-1 and formulation including MCC as reference materials. The pure KCC-1 and KCC-1-NH2 are characterized using different evaluation methods such as FTIR, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption analysis.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have illustrated significant roles in finding general patterns of CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) results. This study is conducted to develop combination of the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm with the fuzzy inference system (ACOFIS) for learning the CFD results of a physical case study. This binary join of the ACOFIS and CFD was used for pressure and temperature predictions of Al2O3/water nanofluid flow in a heated porous pipe. The intelligence of ACOFIS is investigated for different input numbers and pheromone effects, as the ant colony tuning parameter. The results showed that the intelligence of the ACOFIS could be found for three inputs (x and y nodes coordinates and nanoparticles fraction) and the pheromone effect of 0.1. At the system intelligence, the ACOFIS could predict the pressure and temperature of the nanofluid on any values of the nanoparticles fraction between 0.5 and 2%. Comparing the ANFIS and the ACOFIS, it was shown that both methods could reach the same accuracy in predictions of the nanofluid pressure and temperature. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the ACOFIS (~ 1.3) was a little more than that of the ANFIS (~ 0.03), while the total process time of the ANFIS (~ 213 s) was a bit more than that of the ACOFIS (~ 198 s). The AI algorithms process time (less than 4 min) shows their ability in the reduction of CFD modeling calculations and expenses.

Abstract
The native cellulose, through TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical)-mediated oxidation, can be converted into individual fibers. It has been observed that oxidized fibers disperse completely and individually in water. It is believed that electrostatic repulsive forces might be responsible for such observations. In order to study the TEMPO-oxidation of cellulose molecules, we used Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and Flory-Huggins theory combined with molecular dynamics (MD). The surface electrostatic potential in native cellulose and TEMPO-oxidized cellulose were calculated using DFT calculations. We found that TEMPO-oxidized cellulose accommodates a threefold screw conformation where the negatively charged (–COO–) functional groups are pointed away from the surface in all spatial directions. This spatial orientation causes that TEMPO-oxidized cellulose molecules repulse each other due to strong negatively charged surface. At the same time, the spatial orientation increases the hydrophilicity in TEMPO-oxidized cellulose molecules. These observations explain the improved dispersion in water and separability of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose molecules. We obtained large and positive Flory–Huggins interaction parameters for TEMPO-oxidized cellulose molecules indicating their higher dispersion once in water.

Abstract
A nanofluid containing water and nanoparticles made of copper (Cu) inside a cavity with square shape is simulated utilizing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The nanoparticles made up 15% of the nanofluid. By performing the simulation, the CFD output is characterized by the coordinates in the x, y, nanofluid temperature, and velocity in the y-direction that these outputs are obtained for different physical time iterations. Moreover, the CFD outputs are examined by one of the artificial techniques, i.e. adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). For this purpose, the data was clustered via grid partition clustering, and the type of membership functions (MFs) was chosen product of two sigmoidal membership functions (psigmf). After reaching 99.9% of intelligence in ANFIS, the nanofluid temperature is predicted for the entire data, which are included in the learning processes. The results showed that the method of ANFIS can predict the thermal properties in different physical times at different computing points without having a training background at those times. Additionally, this study shows that with three membership functions at each input, the model’s accuracy is higher than four functions.

Abstract
In the current research paper a novel hybrid model combining first-principle and artificial intelligence (AI) was developed for simulation of a chemical reactor. We study a 2-dimensional reactor with heating sources inside it by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The type of considered reactor is bubble column reactor (BCR) in which a two-phase system is created. Results from CFD were analyzed in two different stages. The first stage, which is the learning stage, takes advantage of the swarm intelligence of the ant colony. The second stage results from the first stage, and in this stage, the predictions are according to the previous stage. This stage is related to the fuzzy logic system, and the ant colony optimization learning framework is build-up this part of the model. Ants movements or swarm intelligence of ants lead to the optimization of physical, chemical, or any kind of processes in nature. From point to point optimization, we can access a kind of group optimization, meaning that a group of data is studied and optimized. In the current study, the swarm intelligence of ants was used to learn the data from CFD in different parts of the BCR. The learning was also used to map the input and output data and find out the complex connection between the parameters. The results from mapping the input and output data show the full learning framework. By using the AI framework, the learning process was transferred into the fuzzy logic process through membership function specifications; therefore, the fuzzy logic system could predict a group of data. The results from the swarm intelligence of ants and fuzzy logic suitably adapt to CFD results. Also, the ant colony optimization fuzzy inference system (ACOFIS) model is employed to predict the temperature distribution in the reactor based on the CFD results. The results indicated that instead of solving Navier–Stokes equations and complex solving procedures, the swarm intelligence could be used to predict a process. For better comparisons and assessment of the ACOFIS model, this model is compared with the genetic algorithm fuzzy inference system (GAFIS) and Particle swarm optimization fuzzy inference system (PSOFIS) method with regards to model accuracy, pattern recognition, and prediction capability. All models are at a similar level of accuracy and prediction ability, and the prediction time for all models is less than one second. The results show that the model’s accuracy with low computational learning time can be achieved with the high number of CIR (0.5) when the number of inputs ≥ 4. However, this finding is vice versa, when the number of inputs < 4. In this case, the CIR number should be 0.2 to achieve the best accuracy of the model. This finding could also highlight the importance of sensitivity analysis of tuning parameters to achieve an accurate model with a cost-effective computational run.

Abstract
This investigation is conducted to study the integration of the artificial intelligence (AI) method with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The case study is hydrodynamic and heat-transfer analyses of water flow in a metal foam tube under a constant wall heat flux (i.e., 55 kW/m2). The adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is an AI method. A 3D CFD model is established in ANSYS-FLUENT software. The velocity of the fluid in the x-direction (Ux) is considered as an output of the ANFIS. The x, y, and z coordinates of the node's location are added to the ANFIS step-by-step to achieve the best intelligence. The number and type of membership functions (MFs) are changed in each step. The training process is done by the CFD results on the tube cross-sections at different lengths (i.e., z = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9), while all data (including z = 0.5) are selected for the testing process. The results showed that the ANFIS reaches the best intelligence with all three inputs, five MFs, and "gbellmf"-type MF. At this condition, the regression number is close to 1.

Abstract
Bubbly flow behavior simulation in two-phase chemical reactors such bubble column type reactors is widely employed for chemical industry purposes. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach has been employed by engineers and researchers for modeling these types of chemical reactors. In spite of the CFD robustness for simulating transport phenomena and chemical reactions in these reactors, this approach has been known as expensive for modeling such turbulent complex flows. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm of the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are largely understood and utilized for the CFD approach optimization. In this hybrid approach, the CFD findings are learned by AI algorithms like ANFIS to save computational time and expenses. Once the pattern of the CFD results have been captured by the AI model, this hybrid model can be then used for process simulation and optimization. As such, there is no need for further simulations of new conditions. The objective of this paper is to obviate the need for expensive CFD computations for two-phase flows in chemical reactors via coupling CFD data to an AI algorithm, i.e., differential evolution based fuzzy inference system (DEFIS). To do so, air velocity as the output and the values of the x, and y coordinates, water velocity, and time step as the inputs are inputted the AI model for learning the flow pattern. The effects of cross over as the DE parameter and also the number of inputs on the best intelligence are investigated. Indeed, DEFIS correlates the air velocity to the nodes coordinates, time, and liquid velocity and then after the CFD modeling could be replaced with the simple correlation. For the first time, a comparison is made between the ANFIS and the DEFIS performances in terms of the prediction capability of the gas (air) velocity. The results released that both ANFIS and DEFIS could accurately predict the CFD pattern. The prediction times of both methods were obtained to be equal. However, the learning time of the DEFIS was fourfold of ANFIS.

Abstract
The application of multi-dimensional population balance equations (PBEs) for the simulation of granulation processes is recommended due to the multi-component system. Irrespective of the application area, numerical scheme selection for solving multi-dimensional PBEs is driven by the accuracy in (size) number density prediction alone. However, mixing the components, i.e., the particles (excipients and API) and the binding liquid, plays a crucial role in predicting the granule compositional distribution during the pharmaceutical granulation. A numerical scheme should, therefore, be able to predict this accurately. Here, we compare the cell average technique (CAT) and finite volume scheme (FVS) in terms of their accuracy and applicability in predicting the mixing state. To quantify the degree of mixing in the system, the sum-square χ2 parameter is studied to observe the deviation in the amount binder from its average. It has been illustrated that the accurate prediction of integral moments computed by the FVS leads to an inaccurate prediction of the χ2 parameter for a bicomponent population balance equation. Moreover, the cell average technique (CAT) predicts the moments with moderate accuracy; however, it computes the mixing of components χ2 parameter with higher precision than the finite volume scheme. The numerical testing is performed for some benchmarking kernels corresponding to which the analytical solutions are available in the literature. It will be also shown that both numerical methods equally well predict the average size of the particles formed in the system; however, the finite volume scheme takes less time to compute these results.

Abstract
Continuous membrane separation of pharmaceuticals from an aqueous feed was studied theoretically by development of high-performance mechanistic model. The model was developed based on mass and momentum transfer to predict separation and removal of ibuprofen (IP) and its metabolite compound, i.e. 4-isobutylacetophenone (4-IBAP) from aqueous solution. The modeling study was carried out for a membrane contactor considering mass transport of solute from feed to organic solvent (octanol solution). The solute experiences different mass transfer resistances during the removal in membrane system which were all taken into account in the modeling. The model’s equations were solved using computational fluid dynamic technique, and the simulations were carried out to understand the effect of process parameters, flow pattern, and membrane properties on the removal of both solutes. The simulation results indicated that IP and 4-IBAP can be effectively removed from aqueous feed by adjusting the process parameters and flow pattern. More removal was obtained when the feed flows in the shell side of membrane system due to improving mass transfer. Also, feed flow rate was indicated to be the most affecting process parameter, and the highest solute removal was obtained at the lowest feed flow rate.

Abstract
Wastewater effluent from alkaloid processing plants has the potential adverse environmental influences. Mathematical modelling and simulations were carried out using computational fluid dynamics of mass and momentum transfer in a hollow fibre membrane extractor. Conservation equations were derived for tyramine extraction in the membrane extractor and solved based on the finite element method. Model findings based on the computational fluid dynamics validated well with the experimental data. The results showed that increase in organic-phase flow rate, as well as the fibre length and its porosity, has a positive impact on the performance of the extractor, whereas the enhancement of aqueous-phase flow rate led to the reduction of tyramine extraction.

Abstract
In the current study, Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach was used for the learning of a physical system. We applied four inputs and one output in the learning process of AI. In the learning process, the inputs are space locations of a BCR (bubble column reactor), which are x, y, and z coordinate as well as the amount of gas fraction in BCR. The liquid velocity is also considered as output. A variety of functions were used in learning, such as gbellmf and gaussmf functions, to examine which functions can give the best learning. At the end of the study, all of the results were compared to CFD (computational fluid dynamics). A three-dimensional (3D) BCR was used in this research, and we studied simulation by CFD as well as AI. The data from CFD in a 3D BCR was studied in the AI domain. In AI, we tuned for various parameters to achieve the best intelligence in the system. For instance, different inputs, different membership functions, different numbers of membership functions were used in the learning process. Moreover, the meshless prediction was used, meaning that some data in the BCR have not participated in the learning, and they were predicted in the prediction process, which gives us a special capability to compare the results with the CFD outcomes. The findings showed us that AI can predict the CFD results, and a great agreement was achieved between CFD computing nodes and AI elements. This novel methodology can suggest a meshless and multifunctional AI model to simulate the turbulence flow in the BCR. For further evaluation, the ANFIS method is compared with ACOFIS and PSOFIS methods with regards to model’s accuracy. The results show that ANFIS method contains higher accuracy and prediction capability compared with ACOFIS and PSOFIS methods.

Abstract
The integration of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system, known as ANFIS, is investigated for simulating the hydrodynamic in a bubble column reactor. The Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase model is employed as the CFD approach. For the ANFIS technique, a sensitivity analysis is done by varying the number of inputs and the number of membership functions (MFs). The x and z coordinates of the fluid location, the air velocity, and the pressure are considered as the inputs of the ANFIS, while the air vorticity is the output. The results revealed that the ANFIS with all four inputs and the MFs of five achieved the highest intelligence with the regression number close to 1. More specifically, gbell function in the learning framework is used to train all local computing nodes from solving Navier-Stokes equations. In the decision or prediction part, the fuzzy mechanism is used for the prediction of extra nodes that solve, which Navier-Stokes equations did not solve. The results show that the gbell function enables us to fully train all numerical points and also store data set in the frame of mathematical equations. Besides, this function responds well with the number of inputs and MFs for accurate prediction of reactor hydrodynamics. Additionally, a high number of MFs and input parameters influence the accuracy of the method during prediction. In the current study, gbell MF was studied to investigate its accuracy in the prediction of the two-phase flow. Also, different numbers of MFs were considered to investigate the level of accuracy and capability of prediction. ANFIS clustering methods, grid partition and fuzzy C-mean (FCM) clustering, are compared to see the ability of the method in prediction. To compare the accuracy of the ANFIS method with FCM clustering, the data were compared to the gaussmf function. The results showed that the method has high accuracy and that it could predict the flow pattern.

Abstract
Many numerical methods have been used to simulate the fluid flow pattern in different industrial devices. However, they are limited with modeling of complex geometries, numerical stability and expensive computational time for computing, and large hard drive. The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in learning large datasets with massive inputs and outputs of CFD results enables us to present completely artificial CFD results without existing numerical method problems. As AI methods can not feel barriers in numerical methods, they can be used as an assistance tool beside numerical methods to predict the process in complex geometries and unstable numerical regions within the short computational time. In this study, we use an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in the prediction of fluid flow pattern recognition in the 3D cavity. This prediction overview can reduce the computational time for visualization of fluid in the 3D domain. The method of ANFIS is used to predict the flow in the cavity and illustrates some artificial cavities for a different time. This method is also compared with the genetic algorithm fuzzy inference system (GAFIS) method for the assessment of numerical accuracy and prediction capability. The result shows that the ANFIS method is very successful in the estimation of flow compared with the GAFIS method. However, the GAFIS can provide faster training and prediction platform compared with the ANFIS method.

Abstract
A combination of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) and a differential evolution (DE) algorithm, known as the differential evolution-based fuzzy inference system (DEFIS), is developed for the prediction of natural heat transfer in Cu-water nanofluid within a cavity. In the development of the hybrid model, the DE algorithm is used for the training process of FIS. For this purpose, first, the case study is simulated using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method. The CFD outputs, including velocity in the y-direction, the temperature of the nanofluid, and the nanoparticle content (Ø), are employed for the learning process of the DEFIS model. By choosing the optimum number of inputs and the number of population, the underlying DEFIS variable parameters are studied. After reaching the high value of DEFIS intelligence, in the learning step, a variety of Ø values (e.g., 0.5, 1, and 2) are reviewed. For the full intelligence of DEFIS, the velocity of the nanofluid is predicted in further nodes of the cavity domain. Finally, the velocity of the nanofluid is predicted by using the data at Ø = 0.15, which are absent in the DEFIS process.
