Book Descriptions:
Engineers encounter particles in a variety of systems. The particles are either naturally present or engineered into these systems. In either case these particles often significantly affect the behavior of such systems. This book provides a framework for analyzing these dispersed phase systems and describes how to synthesize the behavior of the population particles and their environment from the behavior of single particles in their local environments.

Population balances are of key relevance to a very diverse group of scientists, including astrophysicists, high-energy physicists, geophysicists, colloid chemists, biophysicists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, and meteorologists. Chemical engineers have put population balances to most use, with applications in the areas of crystallization; gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid dispersions; liquid membrane systems; fluidized bed reactors; aerosol reactors; and microbial cultures.

Ramkrishna provides a clear and general treatment of population balances with emphasis on their wide range of applicability. New insight into population balance models incorporating random particle growth, dynamic morphological structure, and complex multivariate formulations with a clear exposition of their mathematical derivation is presented. Population Balances provides the only available treatment of the solution of inverse problems essential for identification of population balance models for breakage and aggregation processes, particle nucleation, growth processes, and more. This book is especially useful for process engineers interested in the simulation and control of particulate systems. Additionally, comprehensive treatment of the stochastic formulation of small systems provides for the modeling of stochastic systems with promising new areas of applications such as the design of sterilization systems and radiation treatment of cancerous tumors.

Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering by Doraiswami Ramkrishna

From reader reviews:

Brian Nelson:

This Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering book is simply not ordinary book, you have after that it the world is in your hands. The benefit you receive by reading this book will be information inside this book incredible fresh, you will get information which is getting deeper you read a lot of information you will get. This particular Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering without we know teach the one who reading it become critical in contemplating and analyzing. Don't end up being worry Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering can bring when you are and not make your bag space or bookshelves' grow to be full because you can have it within your lovely laptop even cellphone. This Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering having excellent arrangement in word along with layout, so you will not really feel uninterested in reading.

Randy Johnson:

As people who live in the modest era should be upgrade about what going on or details even knowledge to make them keep up with the era which can be always change and make progress. Some of you maybe can update themselves by looking at books. It is a good choice for you personally but the problems coming to anyone is you don't know which you should start with. This Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering is our recommendation to make you keep up with the world. Why, since this book serves what you want and want in this era.

Kathy Donnelly:

Now a day folks who Living in the era everywhere everything reachable by connect to the internet and the resources included can be true or not call for people to be aware of each facts they get. How people have to be smart in having any information nowadays? Of course the reply is reading a book. Looking at a book can help persons out of this uncertainty Information especially this Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering book because book offers you rich info and knowledge. Of course the details in this book hundred per cent guarantees there is no doubt in it you probably know this.

Ruth Haddock:

As a student exactly feel bored for you to reading. If their teacher inquired them to go to the library or make summary for some reserve, they are complained. Just small students that has reading's heart and soul or real their interest. They just do what the instructor want, like asked to the library. They go to at this time there but nothing reading seriously. Any students feel that looking at is not important, boring as well as can't see colorful images on there. Yeah, it is to become complicated. Book is very important for you. As we know that on this time, many ways to get whatever we wish. Likewise word says, many ways to reach Chinese's country. So , this Population Balances: Theory and Applications to Particulate Systems in Engineering can make you sense more interested to read.
