摘要：In this paper, the authors have attempted to study the fault detection using the machine learning technique for the water Membrane Distillation Systems (MDS). Initially, an actual system with the MDS, applying nanotechnology was developed which was based on actual measurements. Then, the errors occurring between the outputs of the model (additionally, these outputs serve as MDS inputs) and system outputs were classified for identifying the system faults. This type of classification was carried out by using different approaches and the classification results were further compared. It was noted that the classification accuracy obtained by using the decision trees was the best as compared to the other learning techniques like K-Nearest Neighbours, Neural Networks, and the Support Vector Machines (SVM).
