Using Moving Finite Elements Method to solve Population Balance Equations comprising breakage terms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a Moving Finite Elements Method (MFEM) based on cubic Hermite polynomial local approximations to handle Population Balance Equations (PBE) modeling breakage phenomena. The adequacy and performance of the MFEM framework are tested in two case studies involving breakage: a benchmark problem with known analytical solution and the hydrolysis of starch. Both examples emphasize the stability and accuracy of MFEM in handling PBE models, thus proving its suitability for this kind of problem.

Dynamic Simulation and Control of a Continuous Bioreactor Based on Cell Population Balance Model
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. Because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (PBE) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. In this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used f...
متن کاملA meshless discrete Galerkin method for solving the universe evolution differential equations based on the moving least squares approximation
In terms of observational data, there are some problems in the standard Big Bang cosmological model. Inflation era, early accelerated phase of the evolution of the universe, can successfully solve these problems. The inflation epoch can be explained by scalar inflaton field. The evolution of this field is presented by a non-linear differential equation. This equation is considered in FLRW model...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of a finite volume scheme for solving non-linear aggregation-breakage population balance equations
This paper presents stability and convergence analysis of a finite volume scheme (FVS) for solving aggregation, breakage and the combined processes by showing Lipschitz continuity of the numerical fluxes. It is shown that the FVS is second order convergent independently of the meshes for pure breakage problem while for pure aggregation and coupled equations, it shows second order convergent on ...
متن کاملPost-buckling response of thin composite plates under end-shortening strain using Chebyshev techniques
In this paper, a method based on Chebyshev polynomials is developed for examination of geometrically nonlinear behaviour of thin rectangular composite laminated plates under end-shortening strain. Different boundary conditions and lay-up configurations are investigated and classical laminated plate theory is used for developing the equilibrium equations. The equilibrium equations are solved dir...
متن کاملModified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method to Solve 3D Elasticity Problems of Functionally Graded Materials
In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...
