Abstract:
In this research, it was tried to present a suitable environment for simulation of crystallization systems. Chapter one presented a survey on crystallization systems, its application, operating methods, and its phenomena. Chapter two presented mechanism and kinetic of phenomena that occur in crystallization systems, in detail, and mathematical models to modeling this systems are implied. In chapter three, that is the simulation result section, firstly, it focused on solution methods to solve population balance equation, that explains the particle size distribution, and its validation, secondly, the simulation results in a case study was compared with those obtained from finite volume method. Finally, the simulation results of cooling crystallization of potassium sulfate, anti-solvent crystallization of sodium chloride, and cooling crystallization of paracetamol are presented to validate the simulation.
