Abstract

AbstractTaking supersaturation and heat transfer rate as evaluation indexes, two typical internal geometries of an oscillatory flow crystallizer (OFC) with circular‐orifice baffles (OFC‐COB) and smooth periodic constrictions (OFC‐SPC) were studied by numerical simulation. The results indicated that OFC‐SPC could provide a relatively high heat transfer rate, supersaturation, and similar or lower power density consumption, as well as a uniform flow field distribution without vortex dead zone. Further, a method to prejudge the supersaturation in oscillatory flow crystallizer is proposed, which would be good guidance to determining the operating parameters.
