Self-inducing Reactors for Bioengineering.

Abstract

Packed tower reactors, mechanically stirred reactors, airlift reactors, and gas-self-inducing reactors are frequently utilized among the various types of reactors. Self-inducing reactors exhibit notable advantages owing to their simple structure, effective gas-liquid intermixing, and low energy requirements, rendering them highly suitable for bioengineering endeavors. The purpose of this analysis is to shed light on the use of self-inducing reactors in bioengineering by examining the following five parameters: critical speed, suction rate, volumetric mass transfer coefficient, power characteristics, and gas hold-up. Through a comprehensive analysis of the advancements achieved in these domains, it is possible to determine the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the realm of bioengineering.
