Written by leading multiphase flow and CFD experts, this book enables engineers and researchers to understand the use of PBM and CFD frameworks. Population balance approaches can now be used in conjunction with CFD, effectively driving more efficient and effective multiphase flow processes. Engineers familiar with standard CFD software, including ANSYS-CFX and ANSYS–Fluent, will be able to use the tools and approaches presented in this book in the effective research, modeling and control of multiphase flow problems.
Practicing and R&D level engineers, graduate level researchers and students. Chemical and Process Engineering, Food and Pharmaceutical, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Petroleum Engineering
