Abstract:The modeling of particle growth in fluidized bed coating processes is often done with population balance equations, which require a mathematical formulation of the process kinetics. In many cases, the resulting equations need to be solved numerically. Therefore a discretization is required, which may have influence on the solution. In this study, a stochastic way of modeling particle growth, based on a Monte Carlo method, for coating and layering processes is presented. This method does not require a formulati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
