SOLUTION OF THE PBE: From Global to Local Constrained Maximum Entropy Method The Maximum Entropy Principle

01.May.2018

​The number density function in the population balance equation (PBE) is approximated in terms of field nodes through a complete set of orthogonal basis functions in a semi-logarithmic space. - We proposed the functional values at these field nodes to satisfy the maximum entropy solution. - This combination of information and function approximation theories based on Shannon Maximum Entropy principle allowed us to construct a sequence of positive continuous approximations to the PBE.
