2.46. In modeling the effect of an impurity on crystal growth, the following equation was derived:
G-GLG0-G=1KLCm
where C is impurity concentration, GL is a limiting growth rate, G0 is the growth rate of the crystal with no impurity present, and KL and m are model parameters.
In a particular experiment, G0=3.0010-3mmmin, and GL=1.8010-3mmmin. Growth rates are measured for several impurity concentrations C(parts per million, or ppm), with the following results:
\table[[C(ppm),50.0,75.0,100.0,125.0,150.0],[G(mmmin)103,2.50,2.20,2.04,1.95,1.90]]
(For example, when C=50.0ppm,G=2.5010-3mmmin).
(a) Determine KL and m, giving both numerical values and units.
(b) A solution is fed to a crystallizer in which the impurity concentration is 475ppm. Estimate the expected crystal growth rate in (mmmin). Then state why you would be extremely skeptical about this result.
