A Neural Networks Model for Accurate Prediction of the Flash Point of Chemical Compounds

Flashpoint is one of the most important flammability characteristics of chemical compounds. In the present study, we developed a neural network model for accurate prediction of the flashpoint of chemical compounds, using the number of hydrogen and carbon atoms, critical temperature, normal boiling p...
