Abstract
A mathematical model of a new process has been developed. A two‐dimensional function of a particle population density was defined on the phase space of mass and enthalpy. The basis of the model is the description of this density function at different stages of the process. The collision of particles followed by a coalescence is the sink and source of the particles. These events are related to the state of the total system and to the position of the particle in the phase space, and are proportional to particle density, particle cross section, particle velocity differences and residence time of particles. A computer program was written for calculations and for finding an optimum to the parameters of the process. The computations were carried out using the data for sorbitol crystallization.Keywords
