Estimation of pressure drop for flow of Non -Newtonian fluid is a common situation & conventional models fail to address it with high accuracy & are to be system specific. Present work is aimed to explore the possible use of the Artificial Neural Network in developing combined models for the estimation of pressure drop as a function of flowrate, density, & concentration of CMC & soil in water mixture in a pipeline. Experimental runs are conducted & the 81 data points generated are divided into 64 & 17 as training & test data points respectively. The RMSE values for S1 & C1 models are 0. 023 & 0. 016 respectively. Further evaluation done by calculating & comparing the percentage relative error shows that, most of the predicted values have accuracy level of around 90% & is acceptable. The present work has successfully highlighted the potential of Artificial Neural Network in modeling complex processes.
