Some Interactions between Problems in Chemical Engineering and the Biological Sciences

  • Chapter
Environmental Engineering
  • 309 Accesses

Abstract

Points of contact between chemical engineering and biology are discussed in an attempt to see what the older concepts of chemical engineering may contribute to the understanding and mathematical analysis of various biological operations with or without membranes. The appendix gives a mathematical treatment of a diffusion and reaction problem in enzyme kinetics.
