The bifurcation diagrams of state variables versus operation parameters for a continuous isothermal mixed - suspension

mixed - product removal (MSMPR) crystallizer have been obtained by resolving the steady state equations with the continuation technique of nonlinear equations. The number of steady states of the continuous MSMPR crystallization process for various multiplicity regions is determined and the criteria of multiplicity(i. e.

multiple steady states) and uniqueness

which is only dependent of the kinetic properties and operation parameters of the crystallization process

is developed by the use of bifurcation theory. In addition

the stability of steady states is analyzed by using the Routh - Hurwith criteria.
