Looking back to the introductory Chap 1 of the first and second editions of Bioreaction Engineering Principles, we still find that the schematic representation of topics in Fig 1.1 adequately describes what we believe should be the focus of the third edition Throughout the text we emphasize... building up a further understanding of bioreactions, both for use in scientific studies and for design of equipment The design examples often refer to the collaboration of the authors with major bio-tech companies – suitably reformulated if necessary Hopefully these design examples demonstrate that Bio-reaction Engineering, by combining core subjects from Chemical Engineering and the Bio-Sciences, contributes... core disciplines from the engineering sciences will lead to the best design of the bioprocess It is our sincere hope that the book will find readers from the combined community of microbiologists, biochemists, and chemical engineers The combined expertise of these scientists constitutes what could be called the biochemical engineer In many universities, Departments of Chemical Engineering have been renamed... the stoichiometry of bioreactions When in Chap 6 reactions catalyzed by immobilized enzymes are treated, one must apply some basic concepts from transport phenomena Diffusion into the pellets is treated with the help of detailed examples The objective is to give the reader an understanding of the topic which is on the par with that given in standard texts on Chemical Reaction Engineering The book has... of biochemical engineers is by no means an easy task, since the qualities of two very different academic cultures, Bioscience and Chemical Engineering Science, must be combined without losing the essential qualities of either of the two Both the student of Chemical Engineering and the student of one of the Biosciences will be trained to recognize new possibilities within their field of study and to exploit... essential, and Chaps 10 and 11 give an input from textbooks in chemical and mechanical engineering that will make the design of real bioreactors trustworthy Chaps 6 and 8 might be included in a two-semester course, or they could be used as basis for short courses on enzyme reactions and on population-based models for bioreactions (essentially the basis is the same as that used for a course in reactive... expertise of these scientists constitutes what could be called the biochemical engineer In many universities, Departments of Chemical Engineering have been renamed as Departments of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering in realization of the need for engineers and scientists who are able to tackle the challenge of transforming the astounding discoveries of the biosciences into new industrial processes which . class="bi x0 y0 w0 h0" alt="" Bioreaction Engineering Principles
