#550 - Novel Computational and Experimental Methods in Mixing (06008)
This session focuses on approaches to processing and modeling of biochemicals and chemicals using novel computational and experimental methods. The theme of this session is the improved design and analysis of (bio-)chemical reactors via more accurate prediction of the momentum, heat and mass transfer within them. We encourage papers that focus on novel applications of modeling and experimental techniques for (bio-)chemical reactor design, scale up and optimization. Contributions can range from fundamental studies to improvement of existing techniques and models, with emphasis on application to industrial processes.
