<br/><br/> The problem of sedimentation is a global concern linked with the design of intake structures and hydel channels. Sedimentation decreases the <br/>water transporting capacity of canals and hydel channels. Vortex tube silt<br/>placed across the channel, is used to extract sediments from the canalin an efficient and economical way. Experiments have been conducte<br/>withvortex tube models having variation in the size<br/>diameter (t/d), and extraction ratio (%).To fit the observed data set and to relate trapping efficiency with the input parame<br/>Process Regression (GP) and Support Vector Machine(SVM) techniques were applied to estimate the trapping ef<br/>tube silt ejector. Out of 144 observations collected from experiments, the modelsare trained with 100 observations chosen arb<br/>the total data and tested with the remaining 44 observations. Modeling results are also <br/>proposed for vortex tube silt ejection devices.Parameter sensitivity results implysediment size and the extraction ratio are <br/>variables influencing the trapping performance of a vortex tube device.
