Similarly, the total particle volume is found to be
(19–8) |
where [g/cm3 ] is the bulk density of the particle core. By assuming that the particles are spherical, an average particle diameter can be obtained as
(19–9) |
The total sphere-equivalent surface area of a particle population is given as
(19–10) |
With these equations, all basic properties of a particle population are defined for the moment method. In Particle Coagulation through Particle Transport Equations , we introduce the kinetics models used by the Particle Tracking feature to describe formation, growth, reduction, and interaction of the particles.
