Multi-Scale Modeling and Inventory Control of Particle Growth Processes

Abstract In this paper, we develop a multi-scale model to describe the particle growth in a fluidized bed reactor. Population balance model is presented to describe the dynamical behavior of particle size distribution. Stability analysis is derived to determine the control configuration for the complex particulate process. Inventory control strategy is applied to control the particle size distribution.
