Description
The aim of this course is to provide students with an introduction to heat and mass transport phenomena required to design bioprocesses. Focus is on the development of a physical understanding of the underlying transport phenomena and upon the ability to apply transport analysis to practical bioprocess-oriented problems. The physical interpretation of the problem will be emphasised via the understanding of the problem鈥檚 mathematical solution.
Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:
- Understand the key design features that determine the heat transfer capability of a fermenter
- Evaluate the consequences of process changes on the performance of fermenter sterilisation and cooling
- Apply heat transfer principles to design a spray drier for the rapid drying of heat-labile proteins
- Define conditions for successful operation of a freeze drying process
- Understand the principles of dispersion and mass transfer within a packed bed chromatography systems
- Understand the fundamentals of distillation and mass transfer
