Comparison of the Accuracy and Performance of Different Numbers of Classes in Discretised Solution Method for Population Balance Model

Figure 1

Variation rate in number of particles by using three different computational grids for simulation of flocculation at velocity gradient of 28.2 s⁻¹ (the ratio of breakage rate coefficient and collision efficiency for each computational grid was listed in Table 1, and collision efficiency was 0.5 for all grids).
