Abstract
The work presents the prediction performance results of three algorithms, namely Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Artificial Neural Network trained with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models. ANFIS and ANN trained by PSO are applied to predict the power and torque values of a Stirling heat engine with a level controlled displacer driving mechanism. Data from experimental work done by Karabulut et al. is used to train and assess the algorithms. MATLAB is used to develop, implement and train the algorithms. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE, Coefficient of determination (R2) and computational time are used to assess the performance of the algorithms.
