Biological Reaction Engineering

This is a monograph on biological reaction engineering, intended for those involved in biotechnology, chemical industry, and technical chemistry. It provides information needed to analyze the behavour of complex reactors using mathematical equations and a dynamic simulation computer language. Part 1 treats the fundamentals of modelling (mass balance equations involving reaction kinetics and mass-transfer rates), making them readily understandable to those new in the field. Part 2 gives 45 example problems, complete with models and programs. The textbook also includes a diskette with a commercial simulation language, which can be run on any DOS personal computer.
