Abstract

Figure 1.5 showed that a granulator can be analysed in several scales. So far, we have analysed important granulation rate processes at the particle and volume-of-powder scale (chapters 3 to 5). In this chapter, we describe the balance equations that describe the evolution of granule property distributions in the granulator ie. granulator scale analysis. A key tool in this analysis is the population balance.
