Abstract(s)
Theoretical background for the calculation of the optimum constant volumetric flow
rate for an isothermal BSTR performing a Michaelis-Menten reaction under transient
behaviour arising from start up conditions is reported. The asymptotic kinetlic behaviours of zeroth and first order were used in order to derive derive analytical
criteria, quite useful for the predesign steps in some situations where the filling
up and the overall operating time are of the same order of magnitude.
