This article deals with a numerical approach based on the symmetric space-time Chebyshev spectral collocation method for solving different types of Burgers equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this method, the variables of the equation are first approximated by interpolating polynomials and then discretized at the Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobatto points. Thus, we get a system of algebraic equations whose solution is the set of unknown coefficients of the approximate solution of the main problem. We investigate the convergence of the suggested numerical scheme and compare the proposed method with several recent approaches through examining some test problems.

The population balance equation (PBE) is the main governing equation for modeling dynamic crystallization behavior. In the view of mathematics, PBE is a convection–reaction equation whose strong hyperbolic property may challenge numerical methods. In order to weaken the hyperbolic property of PBE, a diffusive term was added in this work. Here, the Chebyshev spectral collocation method was introduced to solve the PBE and to achieve accurate crystal size distribution (CSD). Three numerical examples are presented, namely size-independent growth, size-dependent growth in a batch process, and with nucleation, and size-dependent growth in a continuous process. Through comparing the results with the numerical results obtained via the second-order upwind method and the HR-van method, the high accuracy of Chebyshev spectral collocation method was proven. Moreover, the diffusive term is also discussed in three numerical examples. The results show that, in the case of size-independent growth (PBE is a convection equation), the diffusive term should be added, and the coefficient of the diffusive term is recommended as 2G × 10−3 to G × 10−2, where G is the crystal growth rate.
