Notes:
An experimental study was undertaken to verify the theoretical predictions that for a certain range of operating conditions an isothermal crystallizer would produce oscillating outputs even when the inputs were maintained constant. An interesting feature of the results is that even though a power-law model and Volmer's model for nucleation kineties provided equivalent descriptions of the steady state data, predictions of transient responses based on Volmer's equation were much better than the power-law results, and the observed behavior of the oscillating system was described well with Volmer's expression, whereas the power-law equation predicted that the system would not oscillate.
