Notes:
A new empirical model has been proposed to described crystallization systems where the growth rate increases with increasing crystal size in violation of McCabe's ΔL law. Experimental data for Glauber's salt have been presented to illustrate the fit of the new model to an actual system. Equations for steady state crystal size distributions with the use of the proposed model have been derived. Wider use of population density plots for analysis of crystallization systems along with the coefficient of variation to describe a distribution numerically is recommended.
