Bioreaction Engineering Principles, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1994

Integrating recent research on the physiology and modelling of bioreactions and bioreactors, the authors present a comprehensive, unified introduction to the principles and practices of the field. The work features nearly 100 detailed design examples and problems, many of which are suitable for hands-on demonstrations on a personal computer or for expanded research. The text will serve as a highly instructive guide for students in bioengineering and biotechnology, as well as biochemical, chemical, and environmental engineering.

Introduction. Cellular Growth Reactions. Analysis of Reaction Rates. Modelling of Reaction Kinetics. Morphologically Structured Models. Population Balances Based on Cell Number. Mass Transfer. Ideal Bioreactors. Bioreactor Modelling. Index.
