 The answer is B. 0.595 mm. Please show detailed solution. 33.
The answer is B. 0.595 mm. Please show detailed solution.

33. A Swenson-Walker crystallizer is fed with a saturated solution of magnesium sulfate at 110F(xF=0.321). The solution and its crystalline crop are cooled to 40F (xL=0.217). The inlet solution contains 1g of seed crystals per 100g of solution. The seeds are 80 -mesh Ds=0.175mm. Assuming ideal growth, the diameter of the crystals leaving with the cooled products, assuming negligible evaporation, is for 20 mesh, (Ds=0.833mm and 14mesh,Dp=1.168mm). a. 0.955mm b. 0.595mm c. 0.759mm d. 0.345mm
