Multi-Scale Modeling of Industrial Crystallization Process

Abstract:

The multi-scale method was applied to solve the multi-phase multi-scale problem in the industrial crystallization process. The fluid dynamics model was considering under the grid scale, and the population balance model was considering under subsystem scale. The macro model was used to interact with the environment. The crystallization process of potassium chloride was simulated by CFD and MATLAB. The result of the simulation shows the distribution of the supersaturation is strongly affected by the distribution of the suspended crystal volume fraction.
