Resumen:
The population balance equation (PBE) is a useful tool to predict particle size
distributions in granulation processes. When PBE is taught to advanced chemical engineering
students, the internal coordinates (particle properties) are particularly hard to understand. In this
paper, the flow of particles along different coordinates is carefully explained, making the analogy
between the flow of particles in granulators and the flow patterns in chemical reactors, the latter
being a well-known subject in chemical engineering.
