Modeling of Flocculation and Sedimentation Using Population Balance Equation

scour modeling piles of kambuzia industrial city bridge using hec-ras and artificial neural network

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

Development of a Model and Review of Clinical Methods of Balance Function in the Elderly Using Structural Equation Modeling

Background and Objective: Balance disorder is one of the most common problems in the elderly, leading to falls and serious injuries. One of the most important issues in the health of the elderly is balance and its related components. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess balance function tests, the relationship between age and anthropometric index, and perform equilibrium tests using str...

Population Balance Equation Modeling of Crude Oil Demulsification Considering Demulsifier: Modification of Collision Frequency Function Based on Thermodynamic Model

A theoretical model is developed to consider the effect of demulsifier agent on demulsification of water-in-crude oil emulsion. A thermodynamic approach is considered to correlate the critical micelle concentration of a demulsifier to the collision frequency function in population balance equation (PBE). Based on the proposed correlation, the collision frequency function is modified to account ...

Solving the inverse problem for aggregation in activated sludge flocculation using a population balance framework.

Many systems contain populations of individuals. Often, they are regarded as a lumped phase, which might, for some applications, lead to inadequate model predictive power. An alternative framework, Population Balance Models, has been used here to describe such a system, activated sludge flocculation in which particle size is the property one wants to model. An important problem to solve in popu...
