Mechanical forces play an important role in shaping the organization of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in developing and mature tissues. The resulting organization gives the tissue its unique functional properties. Understanding how mechanical forces influence the alignment of the ECM is important in tissue engineering, where recapitulating the alignment of the native tissue is essential for ap...

Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) has been employed to determine pseudo-turbulence characteristics of the flow field around bubble train forming in non-Newtonian caboxymethylcellulose (CMC) aqueous solution at low gas flow rate condition. The Reynolds stress and turbulent intensity of the liquid were investigated by means of Reynolds time-averaged method. The experimental results show that ax...

Systems of two immiscible liquid phases—aqueous phase (i.e., distilled water (dH2O) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)) and perfluorochemical perfluorodecalin (PFD))—were subjected to wave-assisted agitation, i.e., oscillatory rocked, in a disposable bag-like container ReadyToProcess WAVETM25 bioreactor, recognize oxygen transfer effects effectivity the surface aeration. According DoE methodolo...

A liquid/gas membrane bioreactor (L/G MBR) was developed to intensify the dark fermentation process. hollow fiber module used combine biohydrogen production, in situ liquid–gas separation and hydrogen producing bacteria retention a single unit. The L/G MBR seeded once did not require further microbial input, as consistent average yield of 0.97 ± 0.09 mol-H2/added mol-glucose production rate 106...

A model is developed for prediction of axial concentration profiles of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in tubular photobioreactors used for culturing microalgae. Experimental data are used to verify the model for continuous outdoor culture of Porphyridium cruentum grown in a 200-L reactor with 100-m long tubular solar receiver. The culture was carried out at a dilution rate of 0.05 h-1 appl...

steady state and dynamic fermentations of baker's yeast in molasses based media were analyzed in a laboratory scale bioreactor. sugar and biomass balances together with the monod biokinetics were used to develop the process model. parameters of the model were obtained using collected experimental data. model predicted open loop responses to step changes in feed concentration as well as dilution...
