The population balance is introduced as an approach for modelling problems involving a population of particles with a distribution of one or more properties. Numerous applications are identified. The general methodology of applying the population balance in four basic steps is introduced. Basic concepts such as distributions, choice of distributed variables, kinetic and transport processes and the coupling of the population balance with fluid dynamics, are also introduced.
