Symmetry can be understood in two different ways: as a property or as a principle. As Plato said, the symmetry that can be seen in nature is not random in itself, because it is a result of the symmetries of the physical laws. Thus, the principles of symmetry have been used to solve mechanical problems since antiquity. Today, these principles are still being researched; for example, in chemical engineering, the spatial symmetry properties of crystal lattices are being studied, or in electrical engineering, the temporal symmetry of the periodic processes of oscillators can be observed. This Special Issue is dedicated to symmetry in engineering sciences (electrical, mechanical, civil, and others) and aims to cover both engineering solutions related to symmetry and the search for patterns to understand the phenomena observed.

In this article, a numerical study of a one-dimensional, volume-based batch crystallization model (PBM) is presented that is used in numerous industries and chemical engineering sciences. A numerical approximation of the underlying model is discussed by using an alternative Quadrature Method of Moments (QMOM). Fines dissolution term is also incorporated in the governing equation for improvement of product quality and removal of undesirable particles. The moment-generating function is introduced in order to apply the QMOM. To find the quadrature abscissas, an orthogonal polynomial of degree three is derived. To verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique, two test problems are discussed. The numerical results obtained by the proposed scheme are plotted versus the analytical solutions. Thus, these findings line up well with the analytical findings.

The symmetry concept is mainly used in two senses. The first from the aesthetic point of view of proportionality or harmony, since human beings seek symmetry in nature. Or the second, from an engineering point of view to attend to geometric regularities or to explain a repetition process or pattern in a given phenomenon. This special issue dedicated to geometry in engineering deals with this last concept, which aims to collect both the aspects of geometric solutions in engineering, which may even have a certain aesthetic character, and the aspect of the use of patterns that explain observed phenomena.
