Michaelis plug flow reactor

Unfortunately, most enzymes do not obey simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Substrate and product inhibition, presence of more than one substrate and product, or coupled enzyme reactions in multi-enzyme systems require much more complicated rate equations. Gaseous or solid substrates or enzymes bound in immobilized cells need additional transport barriers to be taken into consideration. Instead of porous spherical particles, other geometries of catalyst particles can be apphed in stirred tanks, plug-flow reactors and others which need some modified treatment of diffusional restrictions and reaction technology.

Several examples of analytical solution for first order kinetics were discussed in Chapter 1. Here we consider analytical solutions for a batch (plug flow reactor) and CSTR in the case of enzymatic Michaelis-Menten kinetics, written in the following way... [Pg.421]

The design equation for a plug flow reactor with Michaelis - Menten kinetics is the same as eq. [Pg.423]
