For this macro balance, the terms represent the accumulation of particles in size range R to R + dR due to growth, net particle input from entry and exit streams, and birth and death of particles directly into the size range by nucleation, aggregation, abrasion, or fracture. As written this equation assumes no volume accumulation in the reactor. 

In this chapter aspects of nucleation, aggregation and growth processes that give rise to specific microstructures and forms of nanomaterials are considered. Next the way in which the surface structure of nanoparticulates may differ from the interior, and how physical structure may be modified by reduced particle size is examined. The various techniques by which nanoparticle structure, size, microstructure, shape and size distribution are determined are then considered with examples. Finally some of the outstanding problems associated with nanoparticle structure and growth are identified, emphasizing natural processes and compositions. 

In order to account for variable particle numbers, we generalize the collision term iSi to include changes in IVp due to nucleation, aggregation, and breakage. These processes will also require models in order to close Eq. (4.39). This equation can be compared with Eq. (2.16) on page 37, and it can be observed that they have the same general form. However, it is now clear that the GPBE cannot be solved until mesoscale closures are provided for the conditional phase-space velocities Afp)i, (Ap)i, (Gp)i, source term 5i. Note that we have dropped the superscript on the conditional phase-space velocities in Eq. (4.39). Formally, this implies that the definition of (for example) [Pg.113]

In many processes, including chromatographic separations, the adsorption of drugs to surfaces, the equihbration of solutes between oh and water phases, and diffusion across polymeric or biological membranes, molecules start in one environment and end in another. Nucleation, aggregate or droplet formation, membrane and micelle formation, and protein folding have been modeled in terms of such processes.
