Förlagets beskrivning
A unique, accessible guide to the application of engineering methods to
biological systems. Presenting for the first time a practical, design-oriented,
interdisciplinary approach to transport phenomena involving biological systems,
Biological Process Engineering emphasizes the common aspects of the three main
transport processes-fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer. In clear and
simple terms, it explores the relevance of these processes to broadly defined
biological systems such as the growth of microbes in bioreactors, the leaching
of pollutants into groundwater, and the chemistry of food manufacturing.
Reaching well beyond standard applications in medicine and the environment to
areas of biotechnology, aquaculture, agriculture, and food processing, this
book promotes analogical thinking that will lead to creative solutions. While keeping the mathematics to a minimum, it explains principles of
effective system modeling and demonstrates a wide variety of problem-solving
techniques. Readers will find: Systems diagrams comparing and contrasting
different transport processes Biological examples for all types of systems,
including metabolic pathways, locomotion, reproduction, responses to thermal
conditions, and more Numerous design charts and procedures An extensive
collection of tables of parameter values, not found in any other text. An ideal undergraduate text for biological engineering students taking
courses in transport processes, Biological Process Engineering is also an
excellent reference for practicing engineers. It introduces the reader to diverse biological phenomena, serves as a
stepping-stone to more theoretical topics, and provides important insights into
the fast-growing arena of biological engineering. This volume looks at the use of transport phenomena in biological
engineering systems. The text defines the common properties of all biological
systems - metabolic pathways, locomotion, reproduction, and responses to
thermal conditions.
