The objective of this paper is to develop computational fluid dynamic (CFD)- population balance model (PBM) coupled model to predict a minimum fluidisation velocity in industrial polydisperse gas phase linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) polymerisation reactor. The population balance model (P...
