On the population balance equation.
- Authors
Sporleder, Federico; Borka, Zsolt; Solsvik, Jannike; Jakobsen, Hugo A.
- Abstract
The population balance equation (PBE) has been used in engineering for more than four decades. However, several misconceptions and misuses can be found in the literature. The present work provides a review of the origins and the derivation of the PBE. The main focus is on the inconsistencies between the theoretical foundation and the usual practice, as well as identifying and addressing some of the issues that cause confusion and contradiction among authors.
