We introduce HANNA, a hard-constraint neural network designed to predict activity coefficients in thermodynamic mixtures. Unlike traditional models, HANNA adheres to physical laws, ensuring consistent predictions by incorporating constraints from the Gibbs-Duhem equation and pure component modeling. Our model outperforms UNIFAC on 317,421 data points from the Dortmund Data Bank, achieving higher prediction accuracies. Additionally, HANNA only requires molecular SMILES as input, making it applicable to any binary mixture. This open-source model is freely available for use.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
We’ve created a new way to predict how mixtures of substances behave. Our method, called HANNA, follows strict rules about how molecules interact with each other. This makes our predictions much more accurate than previous methods. We tested HANNA on a huge dataset and found it worked better than the current best approach. The best part is that you only need to know what the individual substances are made of to use this method. It’s free and open-source, so anyone can use it.
