Spray drying (SD) is one of the most important thermal processes used to produce different
powders and encapsulated materials. During this process, quality degradation might …

Recently, there has been an increase in the use of numerical simulation technology in
pharmaceutical preparation processes. Numerical simulation can contribute to a better …

The computational cost of the discrete element method (DEM)-population balance model
(PBM) coupled framework is predominantly attributed to DEM simulations. To overcome this …

Fluid bed granulation is faced with a high level of complexity due to the simultaneous
occurrence of agglomeration, breakage, and drying. These complexities should be …

Achieving high mechanical performance in metallic materials requires precise control of the
inclusion population, and the treatment of liquid steel in gas-stirred ladles is crucial for …

In this paper, we focus on providing a discrete formulation for a reduced aggregation
population balance equation. The new formulation is simpler, easier to code, and adaptable …

The mesoscale population balance modelling (PBM) technique is widely used in predicting
aggregation processes. The accuracy and efficiency of PBM depend on the formulation of its …

The discrete element method (DEM) simulates granular processes and detects inter-particle
collisions during the simulation. Detection of collision helps researchers to study the …

Monte Carlo method is a stochastic approach that can simulate different micro-mechanisms
occurring in spray fluidized bed (SFB) agglomeration. As no model covered the simulation of …

This chapter discusses the development of some breakage PBE kernels. Three different
types of breakage processes are considered, namely linear breakage, nonlinear collisional …
