Summary:Aggregation is one of the important processes in chemical and process engineering. To model this process aggregation population balance equation is widely used. The aggregation kernel is one of the most effective parameter of this aggregation equation. This is usually defined as the product of the aggregation efficiency and collision frequency functions. Several authors attempted to model the aggregation kernel using different approaches like theoretical, experimental and empirical approaches. In the present paper we are giving some important modelling aspects of these kernels. One can use these modelling aspects in other variants of the population balance equations with breakage, nucleation, growth, ..., etc.
