General energy balance equation for steady state. Heat capacity, estimation of heat capacity for solids, liquids, gases and their mixtures. Enthalpy, Standard Heat of formation, standard heat of reaction, Standard heat of combustion, Calculation of heat of reaction at elevated temperature.

Module-5 BIOPROCESS PRINCIPLES & STOICHIOMETRY OF BIOPROCESS 0 hours

BIOPROCESS PRINCIPLES & STOICHIOMETRY OF BIOPROCESS

Historical development of bioprocess technology; Bioprocess principles and operations, generalized process flow sheets. General material balance equation for steady state (for manufacture of penicillin and ethanol) - outline of a bioprocess and the various (upstream and downstream) unit operations involved in bioprocesses.

 

Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

  • Discuss the significance of material and energy balance for bioprocess technology.
  • Solve problems related to material and energy balance to give solutions for bioprocess development.
  • Develop the flow-sheet for general processes operating in bioprocess industry.
  • Apply the stoichiometry of microbial growth and product formation involved in bioprocess technology

 

Question paper pattern:

  • The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
  • Each full question will be for 20 marks.
  • There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub- questions) from each module.
  • Each full question will have sub- question covering all the topics under a module.
  • The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
