BIOCHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING

COURSE CODE: 21-BT3113 MAX.MARKS:30M

1. Give the salient features that you consider as important in the design of a bioreactor.
2. List out the characteristics of tracer in RTD studies?
3. Show that C = E= dF/dt in RTD studies from CSTR ( Where C-C curve, E- E curve,
F- F curve) and Interpret design equation for enzyme reactor with appropriate
examples.
4. Describe the conventional bioreactor with all aspects.
5. Summarize the principles involved in RTD studies and give their significance with
appropriate examples. The data given below represent a continuous response to a
pulse input into a closed vessel which is to be used as a chemical reactor. Assess the
mean residence time of fluid in the vessel, and tabulate and construct the E Curve

6. Describe the characteristic features of different types of bioreactors and Interpret

design equation for batch growth of reaction system and give it’s applications in
bioprocess.
