Abstract
The model analysis of a bioreactor with two intercalated-spiral sets of hollow fibers with alternated dead ends is presented. Design equations are derived based on a model with two jumped fibers and an approximation of the fluid mechanics with a small fiber radius-to-length ratio. The performance of the bioreactor is simulated with and without cell growth utilizing a segregated radial flow model in the extracapillary space. The pressure modulus, the wall Peclet number, the Thiele modulus, and the Monod constant are used as model parameters. The results can be used to assess the proper choice of fiber permeability, fiber length, fiber spacing, and flow velocity.
