Population balance equation in statistical physics
This diagram describes the aggregation kinetics of discrete particles according to the Smoluchowski aggregation equation.
In statistical physics, the Smoluchowski coagulation equation is a population balance equation introduced by Marian Smoluchowski in a seminal 1916 publication,[1] describing the time evolution of the number density of particles as they coagulate (in this context "clumping together") to size x at time t.
Simultaneous coagulation (or aggregation) is encountered in processes involving polymerization,[2] coalescence of aerosols,[3] emulsication,[4] flocculation.[5]
