Advanced Separation process

A 1L,100g (dry weight) sample is removed from a continuous crystallizer which is operated with a residence time of 1000s. The following particle size distribution is obtained for the sample: Microscopy based on the sieve fractions has found that a volumetric shape correction factor, kv, of 0.52, for the crystal population and the crystal density has been found to be 2000kg/m3 Determine whether the MSMPR model describes the system. If it does so, then determine the growth and nucleation rates for this system; if it does not, suggest why reasons that may cause deviation of this CSTR type crystallizer from the MSMPR model
