Three Alternative Population Balance Frameworks

The fundamental derivation of the population balance equation is considered general and not limited to describe gas-liquid dispersions. However, to employ the general population balance framework to model other particulate systems like solid particles and droplets appropriate kernels are required for the particle growth, agglomeration/aggregation/coalescence and breakage processes. Many droplet and solid particle closures are presented elsewhere (e.g., [96, 122, 25, 117, 75, 76, 46]).
