Models for the kinetic and transport processes in the population balance equation (PBE) are discussed. Since the range of population balance problems is very wide, the focus is on the general forms of models and their incorporation into the PBE. More specific examples are drawn from the fields of aerosols and crystallisation that feature in the case studies of Chapter 6. The determination of model parameters from experimental data, or the inverse problem, is also discussed.

Appendices include the basic equations involved in coupling the population balance equation (PBE) with fluid flow, heat and mass transfer (Appendix A), the implementation of the conservative finite volume discretisation method (Appendix B), the derivation of the probability density function (PDF) transport equation (Appendix C) and the derivation of the stochastic field equation (Appendix D).

The application of the theory and methodology presented in the previous chapters for formulating and solving the population balance equation (PBE), as well as its coupling with fluid flow and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), is here demonstrated via three case studies. The first case study is about synthesis of silica nanoparticles in a laminar flame. The second one involves soot formation in laminar and turbulent flames. The third one is about precipitation of barium sulphate crystals in a turbulent T-mixer flow. In each case, the deployment of the population balance methodology is presented in an educational manner, following the four main steps outlined in Chapter 1.
