Notes:
A theory for the identification of criteria within which a continuous isothermal mixed-suspension, mixed-product removal (MSMPR) crystallizer can exhibit concentration multiplicity (i.e., multiple steady states) is developed. Power law growth and power law magma-dependent nucleation kinetic models are used to describe the crystallization kinetics. Applications to specific cases together with figures delineating regions of multiplicity are presented. The stability of these steady states is analyzed by using small perturbations around the steady state. Growth ratedispersion is shown to be unimportant in establishing this concentration multiplicity.
