Summary
The derivation and formulation of the population balance equation (PBE) is presented in this chapter. Various formulations such as the discrete, continuous, multidimensional and coupled PBEs are presented under a unifying framework and related to the problems that they can be applied to. The spatially dependent PBE and its coupling with fluid dynamics is also discussed.
