An Evaluation of Selected Numerical Methods for Solving the Population Balance Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The capability of high order methods to solve the population balance equation is studied in this work. The Least Square Method, the Nyström Method and a low order version of the Nyström method, called the Discrete Method, are applied to a general population balance equation containing breakage terms only. In order to perform a rigorous error analysis, analytical solutions are used. In general the Least Square Method shows a good agreement with the test cases proposed, and a better performance than the other two methods.
