Heat and Mass Transfer Operations - Crystallization
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter presents an overview of industrial crystallization both from a fundamental, scientific perspective and with an eye on the application of crystallization as a separation process in industrial processes. Crystallization as a separation process yields a solid product from a solution or a melt. The process itself, the product characteristics and the temporal behavior are determined by thermodynamics, i.e. solubility of the materials, and crystallization kinetics, respectively. The thermodynamics of solutions and melts are dependent on a range of physical parameters as discussed within. Crystallization kinetics can be divided into two separate processes, nucleation and crystal growth. Both play a significant role in the design of equipment for a given process and are treated in detail below.

Simulation of Stresses Induced by Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying Process of Clay-like Material
Drying represents one of the oldest unit operations employed in industrial processes. Drying is viewed as a process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Porous Clay-like material undergoes stresses due to non-uniform distribution of temperature and moisture induced by heat and mass transfer respectively. The aim of this work is to simulate the stresses induced by heat and mass transfer durin...

This research deals with heat and mass transfer in biscuit industrial baking ovens. In these ovens, heat reaches biscuits indirectly by radiation, convection and conduction. The method for numerical solution is that we first provide the related equations, then they are discretized by finite difference method (FDM), and finally, after encoding and writing a program for the computer, we run it. T...
متن کاملMaximum-Likelihood Parameter Estimation for the Thin-Shell Quasi-Newtonian Model for a Laboratory Blown Film Extruder
While most plastic films are manufactured by blown film extrusion, their first-principles modeling has remained substantially more challenging than for most other chemical engineering unit operations due to its combination of heat transfer, crystallization, and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. This paper applies maximum-likelihood parameter estimation to characterize the convective heat transfer ...
