Bioprocess Engineering And Technology Fundamentals | Bioengineering

This book introduces the reader to basics in both engineering and life sciences required for designing an optimal bioprocess system. Bioprocess Engineering and Technology: Fundamentals integrates life science topics such as cell physiology microbiology biochemistry and molecular biology with essential engineering principles specifically targeting the needs of both engineers and life science experts. It covers engineering fundamentals relevant to bioprocess engineering including reaction engineering fluid mechanics heat and mass transfer and the analytical techniques involved in bioprocess operations. To effectively understand bioprocesses both life scientists and process engineers must approach biological systems with a cross-disciplinary perspective. Therefore the book begins by exploring key topics like microbiology biochemistry cellular metabolism bioenergetics molecular biology and cellular physiology – areas that form the foundation for understanding the role of biocatalysts in product accumulation. The subsequent chapters focus on engineering principles that govern biochemical reactions fluid heat and mass transport phenomena followed by an in-depth discussion on various analytical tools involved in bioprocess engineering. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers in bioprocess engineering particularly for applications in industrial-scale processes. |Bioprocess Engineering and Technology Fundamentals | Bioengineering
