Abstract
The Auxiliary Equation Method (AEM) has been modified to obtain the solutions of a Population Balance Equation (PBE) involving particulate growth, nucleation and aggregation phenomena. In all the cases examined, the volume density distributions are accurately predicted by the travelling wave solutions of the complementary equation of the nonlinear partial integro-differential equation with distinctly chosen parameters. Being a flexible technique and a direct comparison for the existing analytical solutions, this study proves the potential of the proposed methodology. © 2015 NSP Natural Sciences Publishing Cor.
