Annotation
Last update: Schreiber Igor prof. Ing. CSc. (30.08.2013)
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.
Aim of the course
Last update: Schreiber Igor prof. Ing. CSc. (27.09.2013)

Students will be able to:

apply quantitative approaches of chemical engineering to biosystems

design basic types of enzyme reactors and bioreactors

design suitable unit operations for modification of inlets and outles from the bioreactor
