✦ Synopsis


A horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor (HRTB) was designed as a combination of a "thin-layer bioreactor" and a "biodisc" reactor whose interior was divided by O-ring shaped partition walls. For the investigation of mixing in K1 Wm-2 K 1 HRTB the temperature step method was applied. Temperature changes in the bioreactor were monitored by six Pt-100 sensors K2

Wm-2 K 1 (tg0 response time 0.08 s and resolution 0.002 ~ which were connected with an interface unit and a personal computer. In L m this work a modified "tank in series" concept was used to ms kg establish a mathematical model. The heat balance of the model n rain 1 compartments was established according to the physical model ns and the "spiral flow" pattern. Numerical integration was done N1 by the Runge-Kutt~Fehlberg method. The mathematical

## Abstract We present a mathematical model that describes heat and mass transfer during solid‐state fermentation (SSF) of __Aspergillus oryzae__ in a well‐mixed rotating drum bioreactor (RDB). In addition to the substrate bed and the headspace, the model recognises the bioreactor wall as a subsyst

The macroscopic mathematical model based on compartments with ideal mixing zones and tanks-in series was evaluated. Based on the experimental data obtained in a 300 dm 3 pilot reactor and the dependence of mixing time on the volume of liquid phase, we have found mathematical relations between the ra

We consider the avalanche mixing of a monodisperse collection of granular solids in a slowly rotating drum. Although not yet well understood, this process has been studied experimentally for the case where the drum rotates slowly enough that each avalanche ceases completely before a new one begins.
