Bioprocess Engineering Principles

This welcome new edition discusses bioprocess engineering from the perspective of biology students. It includes a great deal of new material and has been extensively revised and expanded. These updates strengthen the book and maintain its position as the book of choice for senior undergraduates and graduates seeking to move from biochemistry/microbiology/molecular biology to bioprocess engineering.

New to this edition:

• Over 150 new problems and dozens of new worked examples
• All chapters thoroughly revised for current developments, with over 200 pgs of new material: Significant new content in Fluid Flow, Mixing, Heat and Mass Transfer, Unit Operations, and Reactions.
• New appendices include Values of Ideal Gas Constants, and Answers to all odd-numbered problems
• New Instructor Solution Manual and Electronic Figures for use in creating PPT slides.
• Presents the principles of bioprocess engineering in a way that is accessible to readers with a limited biology or engineering background
• Explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, but uses worked examples relating to biological systems

• Organized according to the main sub-disciplines within the chemical engineering curriculum: Material and Energy Balances, Transport Processes, and Reactions and Reactor Engineering

  Autorentext
  Pauline M. Doran
  Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology, School of Science, Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology.
  Professor Doran has taught bioprocess engineering and biotechnology at undergraduate and graduate levels for more than 30 years. Her most significant contributions to the field include bioreactor design and analysis for plant organ culture, foreign protein production in plant systems, and human tissue engineering using stem cells.

  2nd edition.

  Zusammenfassung

"Doran (Swinburne U. of Technology, Australia) revises her 1995 graduate and undergraduate textbook for students of molecular biology, biotechnology, and related disciples who have little or no engineering background but want to become familiar with the processes by which biological discoveries are transformed into commercial products. Her emphasis is on the underlying scientific and engineering principles rather than on specific biotechnology applications, she says, so most of the material in the first edition remains relevant. There have been some significant developments, however, and she includes new sections on sustainable bioprocessing and metabolic engineering. Overall, she covers introductory matters, material and energy balances, physical processes, and reactions and reactors." --Reference and Research Book News, October 2012
