✦ Synopsis

The population balance equation with respect to ice crystal size in a batch crystallizer was solved, taking into account the crystal size dependency of growth rate, and the temperature change with crystal growth was calculated. Both the temperature change and the crystal size distribution obtained theoretically were in fairly good agreement with the experimental factors measured in pure water and in a 5% dextran solution.
