Abstract:An application of the Lie group analysis method as developed for integrodifferential equations (population balance equation) is quite complicated, due to the fact that solving the determining equations of integro-differential equations is typically difficult. Even more, the ways of solving determining equations depend on the original integrodifferential equations studied. Conversely, for simplicity and convenience, the study of new integro-differential equations is started by considering the self-similar solutions using a scaling group. Population balance equations considered in the present paper involve both a partial differential equation and integro-differential equation. All explicit physical solutions and self-similar solutions were presented by using the scaling group analysis method. Analysis of the reduced equations was also provided.
