Course Description:
Mass transfer in biological systems: Concepts; gas-liquid mass transfer; membrane transport processes; and heterogeneous reactions. Topics include fermenter reaction, tissue perfusion, and mass transfer limitations in biofilms, microbial flocs, drug delivery, and biomimetics.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop conceptual models of biological systems
- With engineering principles use these concepts to develop mathematical descriptions; and;
- Use these quantitative descriptions in equipment design
