Simultaneous prediction of net heating value and water content of crude oil by its properties based on using artificial neural networks

The purpose this research is prediction of net heating value (NHV) and water content of crude oil by artificial neural networks (ANN). NHV is a function of pressure,molecular weight and specific gravity and water content is a function of specific gravity and pressure. In this research the advanced network with two hidden layerwas designed. The result of this network has good agreement with experimental data and two networkdesigned separately in last research
