摘要
This work is focused on developing a numerical approximation based on finite volume scheme to solve a binary breakage population balance equation (PBE). The mathematical convergence analysis of the proposed scheme is discussed in detail for different grids. The proposed scheme is mathematical simple and can be implemented easily on general grids. The numerical results and findings are validated against the existing scheme over different benchmark problems. All numerical predictions demonstrate that the proposed scheme is highly accurate and efficient as compared to the existing method. Moreover, the theoretical observations concerning order of convergence are verified with the numerical order of convergence which shows second order convergence irrespective of grid chosen for discretization. The proposed scheme will be the first ever numerical approximation for a binary breakage PBE free from that the particles are concentrated on the representative of the cell.
