Crystallization Processes

This lecture covers the key dimensionless numbers in oscillatory flow reactors, such as the Strouhal number and the Reynolds numbers, discussing their impact on mixing efficiency. It also explores the operational windows for flow separation and mixing quality. The design aspects of baffles and their influence on heat transfer improvement are presented, along with the enhancement of mass transfer coefficients. The lecture delves into the principles of RTD in oscillatory baffled reactors and the benefits of continuous oscillatory baffled crystallizers in enhancing crystallization processes. It also examines the drawbacks of traditional crystallization methods and the advantages of COBCs in terms of control, purity, and energy consumption.
