Population Balance Model for Micromixing

Example I2j6-I Population Balance Model for Micromixing 

If a flow system is visualized as consisting of a large number of fluid elements that collide, coalesce, and then reform into two new elements a population balance model similar to that for immiscible droplet interaction can be formulated. The latter was devised by Curl [118] also see Rietema [119] for a review of this complex area. 

For a perfectly macromixed reactor, Evangelista, Katz, and Shinnar [120] utilized Eq. 12.6-2 for the particle distribution of concentrations thus,

Note that jSt = oo implies perfect mixing—no fluctuations. These results are as
