A population balance model for the prediction of breakage of emulsion droplets in SMX+ static mixers
This work deals with the numerical and experimental investigation of droplets breakage in SMX+ static mixers. While steady-state empirical correlations are commonly used for the prediction of the mean droplets size (e.g.

Aggregate Structure Evolution for Size-Dependent Aggregation by Means of Monte Carlo Simulations
Aggregation during crystallization and precipitation processes often leads to complex-shaped particle aggregates. As an alternative to low-dimensional deterministic population balance models, where assumptions on the

Balanced genetic diversity improves population fitness [PDF]
Although genetic diversity within a population is suggested to improve population-level fitness and productivity, the existence of these effects is controversial because empirical evidence for an ecological effect of genetic diversity and the underlying mechanisms is scarce and incomplete.

Comparison of the Dynamic and Thermal Behavior of Different Ideal Flow Crystallizers
In this simulation study, we compare the dynamics and thermal behavior of different ideal flow crystallizers. The first step in creating mathematical models for the crystallizers was the implementation of the population balance equation.
