Simulating of Microbial Growth Scale Up in a Stirred Tank Bioreactor for Aerobic Processes using Computational Fluid Dynamics

In this paper, the effects of some empirical scale up criteria (Reynold´s number and Impeller power per bioreactor volume) on gas-liquid mass transfer and microbial growth rates are analyzed using computational fluid dynamics simulations in a stirred tank bioreactor. The effects of turbulence, fluid...
