Abstract: Various particulate systems were modeled by the population balance equation (PBE). However, only few cases of analytical solutions for the breakage process do exist, with most solutions being valid for the batch stirred vessel. The analytical solutions of the PBE for particulate processes under the influence of particle breakage in batch and continuous processes were investigated. Such solutions are obtained from the integro‐differential PBE governing the particle size distribution density function by two analytical approaches: the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). ADM generates an infinite series which converges uniformly to the exact solution of the problem, while HPM transforms a difficult problem into a simple one which can be easily handled. The results indicate that the two methods can avoid numerical stability problems which often characterize general numerical techniques in this area.
