Annotation

The course is building on the basic knowledge of chemical engineering by the student and develops applications in bioengineering. Basic approaches including mass and energy balances, transport processes and reaction kinetics are synthesized to provide quantitative description of processes used in bioengineering. Special attention is given to reaction-transport processes in enzyme reactors and reactors with living cultures of microorganisms.
