Bioreaction Engineering, Fundamentals, Thermodynamics, Formal Kinetics, Idealized Reactor Types and Operation Modes (Volume 1)

Bioreaction Engineering Reactions Involving Microorganisms and Cells Volume 1 Fundamentals, Thermodynamics, Formal kinetics, Idealized reactor types and Operation modes Karl Schügerl, Professor of Technical Chemistry, Institut für Technische Chemie, Universität Hannover, West Germany This book is designed to provide a basic introduction to the principles of bioreactors, their operating parameters, and their dynamic behaviour under different conditions. The following topics are covered: Introduction Principles Modus operandi of bioreactors Idealized types Formal kinetics of cell growth and product formation in idealized reactors Operation modes in stirred reactors The book will be valuable to both process and control engineers in the fermentation industry and to researchers and lecturers in biotechnology departments of universities.
