Abstract:A hybrid model is developed and evaluated to simulate the heat and mass transfer in the crystallization unit of a sugar factory. While the mass transfer is modeled by using the kinetic growth rate model, the heat transfer is simulated by applying the energy balance to the model. Here, the overall convection heat transfer coefficient of the crystallizer's heat exchanger is considered as a temperature‐dependent function. As this makes the governing equations more realistic, it can help to increase the model accu… Show more
