Abstract

Any innovative design of a chemical or biological reactor has to consider the dynamics of the primary physical and chemical steps involved in the overall process. For homogeneous highly viscous systems the mixing time is of crucial importance for the product quality. In heterogeneous systems, product selectivity and reactor performance can be optimized under dynamic conditions.
