In aerobic bioprocesses, oxygen is a key substrate; due to its low solubility in broths
(aqueous solutions), a continuous supply is needed. The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) must be …

In aerobic process oxygen must be continuously supplied in order to achieve acceptable
productivities, Since the role of oxygen in microorganism growth and its metabolism is of …

This book bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist, and the practical
needs of those who have to design and operate the systems in which these materials are …

Non-Newtonian materials are encountered in virtually all of the chemical and process
industries and a full understanding of their nature and flow characteristics is an essential …

The multiple-impeller agitated systems are compared with single-impeller agitated systems
with a special focus on its applications for bioreactors. Correlations reported in the literature …

A prediction method for calculating the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kLa, in gas–
liquid sparged stirred tanks is proposed. A theoretical equation based on Hibie's penetration …

Isotropic turbulence theory is very useful in evolving a coherent theme to explain the
performance of bioreactors, but at present cannot provide an exact description of …

In zero-valent iron (ZVI) wastewater treatments, organic pollutants are degraded by hydroxyl
radical (OH radical) generated via the Fenton reaction besides by the reductive reaction …

In this work, the hydrodynamics and mass transfer in a gas–liquid dual turbine stirred tank
reactor are investigated using multiphase computational fluid dynamics coupled with …

The oxygen transfer in non-Newtonian fermentation broths of Aspergillus awamori, during
batch cultivations in conventional 10l bioreactor has been investigated. Values of the …
