Solution Plots
In the plot process variables, the graphs show the temperature and total solvent and antisolvent mass profile, respectively.
Both graphs can be separated into three regions:
Region I: linear decrease of temperature while total mass stays constant
Region II: constant temperature while total mass increases
Region III: linear decrease of temperature while total mass stays constant
Region I: Drop because of consumption of solute due to growth
Region II: Dilution
Region III: same as I
Region I: monotonous increase due to temperature drop
Region II: decrease because concentration decreases due to increase of total mass
Region III: balance according to the following relation
where at the beginning, the denominator prevails, later the nominator.
In this plot the concentration is shown dependent on the temperature. Basically, the information from the concentration and supersaturation plot are respresented in one plot. The three regions mentioned above can be recognized again. Furthermore, the graph shows that the system is supersaturated at any point.
In this plot, the 0-th moment, 3-rd moment and the volume average length are plotted. The moments are defined as
and the volume average length is definde as
