(Population density parameters from sieve analysis data)2 One hundred fifty grams of crystals separated from one litre of suspension from an MSMPR crystallizer is subjected to screen analysis to get the following data: Tyler mesh Mass(g) 12/14 28.5 14/20 29.2 20/28 28/35 35/48 below 48 mesh 37.5 27 24.7 3.1 Mesh no./ screen opening(um) data: 12/1410 μm; 14/1190; 20/841; 28/595; 35/420; 48/297. The working volume of the crystallizer is 200 litres, and the rate of withdrawal of the slurry is 250 litre per hour. Given pc = 1400 kg/m³ and volume shape factor o, = 0.42, determine the crystal growth rate and the zero-size population density of the crystals. What is the rate of nucleation, Bº?
