Abstract:Regarding sugar and salt crystallization with large single crystals, the
agglomerate thermodynamics and geometric morphologies, not the dynamics,
dominate the particle size distribution (PSD). To consider this issue, a
PSD design model is proposed for limited large crystal agglomeration. In
this model, the agglomeration thermodynamic criticality is determined by
estimating the adhesion and dispersion forces between single crystals.
The geometric agglomerate morphologies are described by corresponding
single cr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
