This course on Kinetics/Reactor Design: Biokinetics aims to teach learners about cell growth, pharmacokinetics, and washout in bioreactors. The course covers topics such as Monod cell growth, ethanol pharmacokinetics, and inhibition of enzyme reactions. Students will learn how to determine dosage, calculate washout in CSTR bioreactors, and analyze Michaelis-Menten kinetics parameters using nonlinear regression methods. The teaching method includes screencasts with corrected closed captioning, and additional resources are available for those using specific textbooks. This course is intended for individuals interested in biokinetics, reactor design, and biochemical engineering.
