Determination of Effective Shear Rate in a Pilot-plant External Loop Airlift Reactor
Shear rate is an important design parameter in bio-reactors for its role in estimating cell-damage rate in shear-sensitive environment as well as in correlating hydrodynamics and mass transfer coefficients in non-Newtonian systems. One of the serious shortcomings in the analysis of non-Newtonian beh...
