Abstract
The previously proposed hyperbolic, three parameter empirical model of size dependent crystal growth can be reduced to the two parameter one of the form This simplification reduces dimension of the least squares correlation of crystal size distribution in MSMPR crystallizer thus saving amount of calculations with a negligible loss of accuracy estimated by means of the mean residual square deviation. The additional advantage is that a differential balance of crystal number in MSMPR crystallizer can be solved analytically for the simplest case of the exponential function of secondary nuclei size distribution. Correlations for single experiment with ammonium alum are presented.
