The shape of the crystal grown by Kyropoulos technique has been evaluated on the basis of simple mass transfer approach. For some specific cases we have computed the shapes which are resaonable and generally in conformity with physical requirements. To verify the results crystals of KCl were grown under two specific conditions. The shapes of the resulting crystals agreeing with the calculated shapes within limits of error lend support to the validity of mass transfer approach.
