In this study, a fin-tube evaporator is modeled by making use of Rule-based Mamdani-Type Fuzzy (RBMTF) logic where total heat transfer, air inlet temperature of 2 degrees C to 7 degrees C and four different fluid speed groups (ual=1; 1.44; 1.88 m s-1, ua2=2.32; 2.76 m s-1, ua3=3.2; 3.64 m s-1, ua4=4.08; 4.52; 4.96 m s-1) for the evaporator were taken into consideration. In the developed RBMTF system, outlet parameter UA was determined using inlet parameters Ta and ua. The RBMTF was trained and tested by using MATLAB (R) fuzzy logic toolbox. R-2 (%) for the training data and test data were found to be 99.91%. With this study, it has been shown that RBMTF model can be reliably used in determination of a total heat transfer of a fm-tube evaporator.en10.1051/e3sconf/20161000097info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConference Object10N/AWOS:000392270000096N/A
