The FCMOM (Finite size domain Complete set of trial functions Method Of Moments) is an efficient numerical technique to solve population balance equations. It was presented and validated for spatially homogeneous [1,3] and inhomogeneous conditions [2]. In this work, the general form of the FCMOM governing equations is presented which includes both the source terms and the terms accounting for spatially in-homogeneous conditions. Additionally, the role of the spatial diffusion terms in the FCMOM technique is investigated both as far as the reconstruction of particle size distribution partial derivative with respect to the internal variable and as far as the effect of the particle diffusivity models on the speed of propagation of the disturbances.

Abstract
The FCMOM (Finite size domain Complete set of trial functions Method Of Moments) is an efficient numerical technique to solve population balance equations. It was presented and validated for spatially homogeneous [1,3] and inhomogeneous conditions [2]. In this work, the general form of the FCMOM governing equations is presented which includes both the source terms and the terms accounting for spatially in-homogeneous conditions. Additionally, the role of the spatial diffusion terms in the FCMOM technique is investigated both as far as the reconstruction of particle size distribution partial derivative with respect to the internal variable and as far as the effect of the particle diffusivity models on the speed of propagation of the disturbances.Pubblicazioni consigliate
