Bioprocess Engineering Principles by Pauli. M

Key Features First book to present the principles of bioprocess engineering in a way that is accessible to biological scientists Explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, but uses worked examples relating to biological systems Comprehensive, single-authored 170 problems and worked examples encompass a wide range of applications, involving recombinant plant and animal cell cultures, immobilized catalysts, and traditional fermentation systems 13 chapters, organized according to engineering sub-disciplines, are grouped in four sections–Introduction, Material and Energy Balances, Physical Processes, and Reactions and Reactors Each chapter includes a set of problems and exercises for the student, key references, and a list of suggestions for further reading Includes useful appendices, detailing conversion factors, physical and chemical property data, steam tables, mathematical rules, and a list of symbols used Suitable for course adoption–follows closely curricula used on most bioprocessing and process biotechnology courses at senior undergraduate and graduate levels Description The emergence and refinement of techniques in molecular biology has changed our perceptions of medicine, agriculture, and environmental management.
