Bioreactor Modeling: Interaction between Intracellular Reactivity and Extracellular Environment in Bioreactors

Bioreactor Modeling: Interaction between Intracellular Reactivity and Extracellular Environment in Bioreactors is dedicated to graduate students and researchers who are looking for insights into the complex interplay between hydrodynamics and biology in bioreactors. Starting from the establishment of basic conservation equations for a bioreactor considering liquid, gas and biological phases, this book presents the bioreactor engineering approach, exploring modern tools, such as computational fluid dynamics and population balance modeling. The authors discuss key phenomena, analyzing the interaction between using time and length scale analysis. The existence of heterogeneities in each phase is considered and illustrated through various examples regarding bacteria, fungi, or animal cells. Presents a multiphase description of bioreactor modelingIncludes a combination of concepts issued from different scientific fields to address a practical issueProvides a detailed description of the population balance concept as applied to biological systemsCovers a set of illustrative examples of the interaction between hydrodynamics and biological response INDICE: 1. Basic Concepts for Bioreactor Modelling2. Mixing, Transfer and Reaction3. Flow Characterization and Particle Trajectory4. From Average Cell to Population Balance Approach5. Mechanical Interactions
