Notes:
Fundamentals of bioreactor design are the following functions: macro- and micro-mixing, mass transfer, heat exchange, bioreactor control and its scale-up. Mixing, mass transfer, heat exchange involve the determination of elementary zones of reactor, the mass transfer and the heat exchange between them and also between individual phases (liquid, gaseous, solid), including a possibility of direct gas-cell oxygen uptake. The overall description of a bioreactor is obtained by combining models of reactor hydrodynamics, mass transfer and heat exchange with a appropriate cell or population model. On the basis of hierarchical description new biological scale-up procedures (via modeling and simulation) may evolve.
