A numerical method for the simulation of an aggregation‐driven population balance system

Abstract: SUMMARY A population balance system that models the synthesis of urea is studied in this paper. The equations for the flow field, the mass and the energy balances are given in a three‐dimensional domain, while the equation for the particle size distribution is given in a four‐dimensional domain. This problem is convection‐dominated and aggregation‐driven. Both features require the application of appropriate numerical methods. This paper presents a numerical approach for simulating the population balance system… Show more

“…It is in principal the same model as considered in Hackbusch et al (2012). Only, the flow domain has a different form, hence also the flow field, such that a 3D-axisymmetric form of this model can be used in the numerical simulations.…”

“…Only, the flow domain has a different form, hence also the flow field, such that a 3D-axisymmetric form of this model can be used in the numerical simulations. It will be explained in Section 4 that the different flow field will also change the impact of growth and aggregation on the urea population compared with Hackbusch et al (2012).…”
