The influence of properties of crystallizing substance and operation parameters of simplest, two‐stage cascade of mixed tanks on crystal size distribution was examined. The mathematical model of cascade was formulated to this end. The relations found enabled to decide which parameters influence the CSD. Computations were performed then with the purpose to compare the CSD from cascade and CSD from single crystallizer with the same mean retention time as in cascade and with identical input values. These computations were performed for arbitrarily chosen, but met in practice values of physico‐chemical constants of crystallizing substance and parameters of crystallizers performance. It was found that for a given set of input values optimal conditions of cascade performance could be found.
