Part II of this book represents the bulk of the material on the analysis and modeling of biochemical systems. Concepts covered include biochemical reaction kinetics and kinetics of enzyme-mediated reactions simulation and analysis of biochemical systems including non-equilibrium open systems, metabolic networks, and phosphorylation cascades transport processes including membrane transport and electrophysiological systems. Part III covers the specialized topics of spatially distributed transport modeling and blood-tissue solute exchange, constraint-based analysis of large-scale biochemical networks, protein-protein interactions, and stochastic systems. 

Determine the eifect of using a cascade of two CSTRs that differ in size on the volume requirements for the reactor network. For both reactors, assume isothermal operation at 25°C where the reaction rate constant is equal to 9.92 m /(kgmol ks). Reactant concentrations in the feed are each equal to 0.08 kgmol/m and the liquid feed rate is equal to 0.278m /ks. Determine the minimum total volume required and the manner in which the volume should be distributed between the two reactors. A fractional overall conversion of 0.875 is to be achieved. 

ABSTRACT In this work, original indicators are introdnced to characterize the criticality of components in a network system with respect to their contribution and participation to failure cascade processes. Three different models of cascading failures are considered, differing both on the failure load distribution logic and on the cascade triggering event. The criticality indicators are compared to classical measures of topological centrality, for identifying the centrality measure most characteristic of the cascade processes considered. 

In an effort to characterize the criticality of components with respect to the propagation of failures in a network, original criticahty indicators have been defined and computed by simulation for three different models of cascading failirres differing both in the failure load distribution logic and in the cascade triggering event.
