This welcome new edition discusses bioprocess engineering from the perspective of biology students. It includes a great deal of new material and has been extensively revised and expanded. These updates strengthen the book and maintain its position as the book of choice for senior undergraduates and graduates seeking to move from biochemistry/microbiology/molecular biology to bioprocess engineering.
Review:
"Biochemical Engineering" for biology students
This is a comprehensive textbook on biochemical engineering suitable for students with only elementary knowledge of mathematics and engineering. It covers all the main aspects of the field but with minimal prerequisite knowledge of differential calculus and statistics. In the first part are given concepts of mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and unit operations. It is followed with reaction principles, kinetics of biological processes, heterogeneous reactions, and reactor engineering principles. Each topic includes practical examples and numerical solutions to problems. Students with biological background will find this book as the most appropriate introduction to biotechnology.
Review:
Very basic
The book is useful for microbiologists and not for chemical engineers since the materials covered are very very basic. For aspiring chemical engrs, please buy other advanced books on bioprocessing.
Review:
One of a better book
This is one of a better intro textbook for people interested in Bioprocess Engineering. It covers a lot of engineering fundamentals such as Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, etc. However, it is lack of biology concept (which is needed to give better presentation of the materials). Problems given at the end of chapter will be more useful when accompanied with numerical answers.
Review:
Valuable for Intermediate Students
This book is valuable especially for intermediate students who took some courses of microbiology and fermentation.
It covers from basic to practical, and explains equations and math-related things well that most students feel difficulties.
You can even calculate the fraction of plasmid bearing cell in batch culture with usual decreasing copy number, and you can understand oxygen transfer rate clearly.
