Gas-Liquid Transport Pathways

It should be noted that all resistances are purely physical except for the last resistance, and that not all mass transfer resistances may be significant for a given system. Many of the resistances may be neglected in most bioreactors except for those around the gas-liquid interface (Chisti, 1989 Moo-Young and Blanch, 1981). Thus, the transport problem is greatly simplified to a gas-liquid interfacial
