  PBE-based Drop Dynamics Simulation in an Unbaffled Stirred Tank Reactor

  By S. Somasundaram, Shekhar Kumar, V. Vijayakumar

  Abstract: The population balance equation (PBE)-based model describes the distribution of drop size with respective to its size. In this work, 30% TBP was dispersed in 4N nitric acid solution by turbine impeller. Drop-size distributions were measured with a 630 nm laser-based particle size analyzer. For daughter drop density function, a normal distribution function was considered. For breakage rate, Voigt model of Chen et al. was used in the simulation [1]. …
