Abstract

This chapter attempts a general and unifying treatment from a chemical reaction engineering viewpoint, in which the Lagrangian approach is used to describe mixing in a transport process primarily in continuous crystallizer systems. A rational approach to crystallizer description and design requires a solution of the relevant conservation equations representing crystal population and mass and energy balances, together with a description of the kinetics of rate processes involved and a definition of flow patterns within the vessels. The performance of a crystallizer system depends not only on the pertinent intrinsic kinetics of growth and nucleation processes, but also on the physical processes occurring in the vessel (Figure 102).
