“…In this case, one or two parameters (or moments) of the spectrum are calculated. Compared to the generalized approach, the direct approach is more accurate in describing the evolution of the particle size spectrum, but requires considerable computational resources, because the spectrum needs to be split into many intervals (Aloyan et al, 1993;Wexler et al, 1994;Aloyan et al, 1997;Piskunov et al, 1997;Meng et al, 1998;Aloyan and Piskunov, 2005). In each case, the choice of an approach depends on the purpose of the study and the availability of accompanying resources.…”
