3. Aggregation kinetic equations Particles aggregation is widespread in different chemical technological processes, metallurgy and
nature, and there are many approaches to modeling this phenomenon [9]. At the same time, certain
important aspects in description of aggregation processes leave to be none elaborated at present. One of
these important but weakly developed questions is time non-locality of aggregation processes. Indeed,
without allowing for this aspect it is impossible to describe the influence of characteristic times of
aggregates formation on the process kinetics [10]. It is justified especially in reference to nano-
technological processes. For describing the evolution of
i-mers concentration in the apparatus we can use various
modifications of Smoluchowski or Becker-Dцring equations expanded as required by terms which
correspond to a source of mass [11, 12].
This section deals with the non-local modification of Smoluchowski equation based on the approach
presented in the previous section. We don’t discuss here such especially physical problems as particles
nucleation, etc. But we try to understand and to emphasize some difficulties emerging in the act of
deriving non-local aggregation equations.

So we submit the following non-local modification of the Smoluchowski equation for aggregation in
the uniform system:

i C denotes the concentration of
i -mer.
In our case the characteristic times
j i,
τ
of the aggregation of
i and
−
j mers play a role of relaxation
times. The simplest model equation for elements of the aggregation matrix can be constructed by analogy
with model equation (6) for transfer kernels. We submit this equation as follows:

In equation (35) the coefficients
i r on a level with relaxation time

play a part of control
parameters of globules “inertness”, the parameter
f answers for media and particles characteristics.

We didn’t find way to rigorous reducing equation (37) to an ODE form even in that case. However,
we try to simplify the problem by using asymptotic behaviour of integrals in (37). Namely, it is supposed
that for small relaxation times we can use Laplace method in the neighbourhood of the time point
t . But
immediate substitution of the integrals expansions into equation (37) requires multiplying asymptotic
sequences. Such procedure is dangerous, as it may lead to utter loss of checking orders of approximation.
Therefore we rearrange the equations to the form which is free from a product of integrals:

Using then Laplace method we obtain the understandable asymptotic relations in which the orders of
equations and approximations are concerted

Unlike the first case we can’t now get rid of the products of integrals with the help of equation (34).
That is why we are forced to resort to separate averaging of sums containing
2
1
I I and
4
3
I I [10].
There are not indisputable grounds for such procedure but we assume that (44) can be rewritten in the
following form using coefficients

i B as functions of time

The scheme of subsequent transformations is like that.
1. From (43) and (45) we infer the expressions for sums containing
2
1
I I and
4
3
I I .
2. Then we substitute these expressions to equation (47) and use asymptotic relations for integrals
once again.
By realizing this clear scheme we obtain the three-order ODE of rather unwieldy form, and it is no
need to presenting this equation here.
In any case, it is possible to conclude at once that account of an interference of non-simultaneous
perturbations of
i-mers concentration field may be important on close examination of aggregation
processes. This shade was missed in our work [10].
