Enzyme Reactor Engineering: Principles and Applications is organized as an introductory overview, followed by two major parts - analysis of enzyme reaction kinetics and analysis of enzyme reactor performance. It concludes with a brief coverage of important mathematical concepts. This allows the reader to first get an insight of the detailed kinetics of the reaction brought about by a general enzyme at a given point; and then to extend this concept so as to encompass the overall reactor behavior.It covers sequentially the three classical levels of description: macroscopic, or ideal; microscopic, or real in terms of hydrodynamics (including homogeneous, nontrivial flow patterns, as well as heterogeneous systems); and submicroscopic, or real in terms of mixing. The quality of the approximation increases in this order, but so does the complexity of the mathematical models entertained and the thoroughness of the experimental data required. Detailed examples and worked problems are given at the end of each section that utilize experimental kinetic data from processes of practical and industrial relevance. The major emphasis is on general simulation rather than empirical correlation. This approach rationally handles equations to eliminate overparameterization and establish dimensionless, simpler relationships; chooses problems of practical relevance, but in a way so as to cover various types of enzyme-mediated reaction processes and systems in a mathematically balanced fashion; and builds on specific cases for illustration purposes.
