Summary
Models for the kinetic and transport processes in the population balance equation (PBE) are discussed. Since the range of population balance problems is very wide, the focus is on the general forms of models and their incorporation into the PBE. More specific examples are drawn from the fields of aerosols and crystallisation that feature in the case studies of Chapter 6. The determination of model parameters from experimental data, or the inverse problem, is also discussed.
