Transcribed Image Text:2. A 1 L, 100 g (dry weight) sample is removed from a continuous crystallizer which is
operated with a residence time of 1000 s. The following particle size distribution is obtained
for the sample:

Microscopy based on the sieve fractions has found that a volumetric shape
correction factor, ky, of 0.52, for the crystal population and the crystal density has
been found to be 2000 kg/m³
Determine whether the MSMPR model describes the system.
If it does so, then determine the growth and nucleation rates for this system; if it
does not, suggest why reasons that may cause deviation of this CSTR type
crystallizer from the MSMPR model.
