Designing Batch Fermentation Reactors, 3rd Edition, still adopts the seemingly rather complex approach of Random Media Many Body Problem for the design and analysis of bioreactors, and still makes the study and undertaking of such endeavor an interesting, challenging and intellectually stimulating subject that every bioreactor engineer should find engaging, in continuing the use of Bioreactors Point Sinks Sources Descriptive Equations derivative of the perspective that describes the microbial cells as Point Sinks and Pont Sources, respectively, being sinks for substrates and sources for metabolic products, invariably positing the bioreactors as Random Point Sinks Sources Media, and consequentially developing a design approach using Random Media Point Sinks Sources Many Body Problem. The core principles of incorporating non-empirical reaction mechanism and rate equation based on the operational physics and biophysics, of microbial metabolic reactions, into the Bioreactor Design Equations of Balance, has been further emphasized with a whole chapter on cellular reactions having been carved out in support, and that more specifically highlights the function-based decomposition of the cellular rate equations into functional categories as well as the assignment of the reactions of Biochemical Pathways into the functional categories, thereby enabling efficacious design of fermentation reactors consequent on effective reactions-distribution into the Aggregated Point Sinks Sources, descriptive of the microbial suspension. Further, in recognition of the emerging significance of Packed Bed Fermentation Bioreactor as the reactor of choice for large volume production, the science underpinning by self-immobilization has also be elicited in proffering insight into the reaction dynamics of biofilm growth dynamics. The further reinforcement of the integrated application of the sciences adds to the intellectually challenging exciting endeavour that is Bioreactor design, and therefore continues to encourage and enable a rethink of the task of designing bioreactors.
