Investigation of some factors affecting the performance of biochemical reactor using MATLAB

In this work, it was attempted to estimate the mass a) and study the dynamic behavior of continuous stirred tank fermenter (CSTF) by means of Matlab language and benefit from commands and functions,which are built in Matlab.transfer coefficient (kL The present work developed a mathematical model for production of biomass as a single cell protein (SCP) by treating backer yeast (biomass) with glucose (substrate 1) and oxygen (substrate 2) as an example for CSTF and used in simulation n programs.

In the theoretical part, Equilibrium (EQ) and Rate-Based or Non Equilibrium (NEQ) models were developed using MATLAB (R2009b) to solve MESHR equations, M: Material balance, E: Equilibrium relation, S: Summation equations, H: Heat balance, and R: Re

This investigation represent an experimental study which was conducted on a flow-by fixed bed electrochemical reactor in which electrolyte is perpendicular to the current flow direction.

SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION TO PRODUCE ETHYL TERT-BUTYL ETHER USING REACTIVE DISTILLATION

     Ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) is primarily used for the production of high octane number gasoline. It is produced by reaction of ethanol (ETOH) and tert-butanol (TBA)over an acidic catalyst where water is also produced as a by-product, using reactive distillation unit which can be considered as reaction and distillation combined into one unit operation.The present work concerned with studying the behavior of batch reactive packed distillation column to produce ETBE experimentally and theoretically.
