Elementary Concepts of Number Balance
This chapter considers the mixed suspension mixed product removal crystallizer as a representative example to introduce the main concepts of number balance. It predicts the particle size distribution at the exit of the crystallizer as a function of operating conditions such as cooling, flow rates, and feed composition. An assumption is that particles are small enough so that they remain dispersed in the flow. For larger particles other considerations may be important. Hence, one needs to have a suitable description of the temporal state of the system, i.e. particle size distribution. The chapter looks at the description of a single particle. It then discusses what is a good description of a population of particles. The chapter also develops the number balance equation for a crystallizer. It deals with a seeded batch crystallizer where no aggregation or breakage occurs.
