In the passive heat transfer enhancement methods, there are several parameters which need to be optimized to maximize the heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number while minimizing the pressure drop. For this purpose, empirical correlations are generated by experimental and numerical studies. In this study, a heat transfer analysis of rectangular fins with experimental data by an artificial neural network approach is performed. Artificial Neural Network method is compared with the classical regression model. Different networks with a different number of neurons in the hidden layer and several training algorithms are tested for the defined problem. The results show that the ANN model is found faster and more accurate than conventional techniques if the optimum architecture is generated and convenient training algorithm is chosen for the specific problem. For this   problem, 10-5-1 network with Bayesian Regularization training algorithm is selected as the best scenario with 7.6 % mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and 0.029 RMSE value while maximum MAPE value is reached to 56.3 % with Levenberg- Marquardt training algorithm and with 10-12-1 network.

Pasif
ısı transferi iyileştirme metodlarında ısı transferi kat sayısı ve Nusselt
sayısını maximize ederken, basınç düşümünü minimize eden yaklaşımı tespit
edebilmek için bir çok parametrenin optimizasyonunun yapılması gerekmektedir.
Bu sebepten ötürü, deneysel ve sayısal çalışmalara bağlı olarak ampirik
korelasyonlar elde edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada dikdörtgensel finlerin ısı
transferi davranışı deneysel ve yapay sinir ağları metodları ile ortaya
konmuştur. Yapay sinir ağları metodolojisi ile elde edilen sonuçlar korelasyon
ile kıyaslanmıştır.  Ayrıca, tanımlanan
problem için yapay sinir ağı uygulamasında farklı eğitim algoritmalarının ve
katman sayısının sonuçlar üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen
sonuçlara göre YSA yöntemi, korelasyon yönteminden daha hızlı ve daha doğru
sonuç vermektedir. Diğer yandan YSA yaklaşımının doğruluğunun arttırılması için
uygun eğitim algoritmasının seçimi, uygun katman sayısının tespiti yani uygun
mimarinin elde edilmesi önem arz etmektedir. 
Tanımlanan bu problem için, 10-5-1 ağına sahip Bayesian Regularization
algoritması %7.6 ortalama yüzde hata ve 0.029 RMSE ile iyi senaryo olarak
belirlenmiştir. Maximum ortalama hata %56.3 ile 
Levenberg- Marquardt algoritmasında 10-12-1 ağı ile elde edilmiştir.
