Abstract

A comparison of well known size-dependent crystal growth rate models has been presented. The models have been verified for crystal size distributions which have been recently presented in the literature. It is shown that for large crystal size range both the Abegg-Stevenson-Larson (ASL) model and the Canning-Randolph (C-R) model can be reduced to the simplest Bransom model. Two another kinetics size-dependent growth rate models have been presented and tested for size distributions which were recently presented by Mydlarz and Jones. Application of the proposed size-dependent growth models gives much better estimation of growth rate than other size-dependent models tested as well as Sikdar and White-Bendig-Larson methods.
