Abstract

An analytical formula for the calculation of the substrate conversion under complete segregation conditions in a CSTR performing a biochemical reaction following Michaëlis‐Menten kinetics is obtained. The errors on the expected conversion arising from using an optimal reactor design based on the assumption of complete micromixing conditions are discussed. Methods for the determination of the optimal reactor size profile for a series of CSTR's under complete segregation conditions are reported, using the minimum of the overall space time as the objective function.
