Title: Population Balances
Description: "Population Balances provides a general treatment of population balance models of dispersed phase systems while encompassing their mathematical structure, derivation, formulation, solution, and identification through inverse problems and stochastic formulations. A wide variety of applications is presented with a focus on both the unifying features of the underlying theory and their wide range of applicability.

By doing so, it is the only book to touch upon the treatment of the solution of inverse problems essential for identifying population balance models such as for breakage and aggregation processes, particle nucleation and growth processes, and the stochastic treatment of small populations. It also makes available a wide range of solution techniques (Monte Carlo simulation methods) with a lucid exposition of their origin and scope for enhancing computational efficiency.".

"The range of subjects in this book makes it an invaluable resource for engineers and scientists of disciplines ranging from aeronautical, biochemical, and civil engineers, to colloidal chemists and food scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
