Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Heat transfer in a hexagonal cavity filled with different porous media and fluid is studied using FEM, ANN, and RSM. • The aluminum foam–engine oil combination yields the highest average Nusselt number. • ANN and RSM are used to determine the optimal thermal performance. • The difference between FEM results and ANN predictions is within 0.06%. • An integrated FEM-ANN-RSM framework enhances the heat transfer performance in a porous cavity.
