Authors: Bjørn H. Hjertager and K. Morud,Affiliation: Telemark University College and Telemark Technological R&D Centre (Tel-Tek)
Reference: 1995, Vol 16, No 4, pp. 177-191.
Keywords: Bioprocess, modeling, multiphase, chemical reactor
Abstract: Multi-dimensional models of flow processes in bioreactors are presented. Particular emphasis is given to models that use the two-fluid technique. The models use a two-equation turbuluence model and a Monod type kinetic reaction model. Predictions are given for both bubble column and mechanically stirred reactors.
