This book is the admirable result of ten years' experience in organizing and teaching courses in biological reaction engineering. It gives engineers and scientists the information they need to analyze the behavior of complex biological reactors using mathematical equations and a dynamic simulation computer language. Part I treats the fundamentals of modelling (mass balance equations, involving reaction kinetics and mass-transfer rates), making them readily understandable to those new in the field. Part II gives 45 example problems, complete with models and programs. This book is the first of its kind to include a diskette with a commercial simulation language. The diskette can be run on any DOS personal computer. Users will appreciate how the simulation runs can be interrupted for interactive parameter changes and instructive plotting.

Many chemical and biological processes take place in fluid environments in constant motion — chemical reactions in the atmosphere, biological population dynamics in the ocean, chemical reactors, combustion, and microfluidic devices. Applications of concepts from the field of nonlinear dynamical systems have led to significant progress over the last decade in the theoretical understanding of complex phenomena observed in such systems.This book introduces the theoretical approaches for describing mixing and transport in fluid flows. It reviews the basic concepts of dynamical phenomena arising from the nonlinear interactions in chemical and biological systems. The coverage includes a comprehensive overview of recent results on the effect of mixing on spatial structure and the dynamics of chemically and biologically active components in fluid flows, in particular oceanic plankton dynamics./a
