      Enzymatic Reactors: Design and Optimization delves into the performance analysis of enzyme reactors, starting from the simplest ideal reactors considered individually as single units, then progressing to combinations of multiple units. The book gradually improves the quality of modeling with contributions from nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer, eventually addressing interactions with separation and classical control of operation. It helps readers evolve their understanding of reactor concepts and extends their knowledge to overall reactor operation. The book covers three levels of description: macroscopic (ideal), microscopic (nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer), and submicroscopic (nonideal mixing).The quality of approximation increases with the complexity of mathematical models and experimental data. It explores ideal reactors, nontrivial flow patterns, multiphasic systems, and the mixing processes essential for optimizing enzyme reactor performance.
