✦ Synopsis

A Random Crystal Growth (RCG) model is proposed to predict CSD in a continuous MSMPR crystallizer when the crystals exhibit growth rate dispersion. RCG model links two well-hown models of growth rate dispersion, namely the Random Flucluation (RF) and Constant Crystal Growth (CCG) models. Monte Carlo simulation has been employed to solve Ihe model equations.

Predicted results are compared with experimental CSD data on sucrose reported by Bennett.
