Abstract

Fundamental equations describing behaviour of the continuous stirred crystalliser in steady state include a system constant B, whose value strongly depends on selection of the size of initial crystals L_N. To avoid this dependence and to see that the equations be applicable for crystalliser design also in the case when the value L_N approaches zero, a general derivation of the dependence between the mean size of crystals L and specific output of the crystalliser m_c has been derived on basis of the numerical nucleation rate. The derived relations do not include the quantity L_N and they can be transformed by a simple arrangement to the published relations.
