Exploring the dynamic growth of sugar crystals: A volume diffusion non-steady state model under variable conditions
Source abstract
Abstract
Observing the effect of temperature, concentration, and impurity on the crystal growth rate is accomplished by simulating the growth of sugar crystals. The volume diffusion growth model was used to examine the crystallization process and compare the effect of the three parameters on the growth of sugar crystals. The non-steady-state behavior of the process is examined using MATLAB simulation. A disturbance analysis of temperature, concentration, and impurity has been conducted to demonstrate their impact on the final crystal size of sugar. The findings show that temperature and impurities affect the final sugar crystal size. In addition, the size of crystals can be enhanced by increasing the concentration of sugar solution.
