Agglomerating populations, simulation

As observed earlier, we will have opportunity to revisit agglomerating populations in Chapter 7 from a considerably deeper perspective than in this section. We shall therefore attend to other interesting aspects of the Monte Carlo simulation method. 

Besides agglomeration and attrition, the rates of nucleation and growth are the main kinetic parameters that determine the size distribution. These parameters, which are reqnired in crystallizer design and simulation, can be determined on the basis of the population balance equations. Section 64.2 discusses the methods for controlling the particle size and particle size distribution.
