...) and sectional methods (SMs). In MC methods, an ensemble of particles is represented by several numerical particles with dynamic processes of particles handled probabilistically. Although the resulting solution is normally very accurate, the computational cost is rather high. In addition, coupling an MC...

...Zhongli Chen; Fangyang Yuan; R.J. Jiang Purpose – The original v2-based sectional method assumes that the selected property quantity of particles is uniformly distributed in each section, which makes particle size distribution (PSD) fluctuate dramatically in the entire size range. The number...

... model was proposed in which the nanoparticle population balance equation with respect to particle size was solved by the sectional method. Findings – It was found two modes appear when a nanoparticle system was injected by a continuous source. Originality/value – Through tracing...
