    Transport phenomena deals with the movement of physical quantities like momentum, heat, and mass in bioprocesses. It influences the kinetic behavior of cells. There are three main types of transport: 1) momentum transport involves fluid dynamics, 2) heat transport deals with energy transfer which is important for temperature control in bioreactors, and 3) mass transport involves the movement of chemical species from one phase to another, which is key in processes like extraction and absorption. Understanding transport phenomena is essential for bioprocess engineering.

    TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN BIOPROCESS SYSTEMS

    In biochemical engineering profession, there are various bioprocesses actively involved


    in the synthesis and production of biological products. Understanding all of the processes may
    require basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry, biotechnology and real knowledge of
    engineering processes. Transport Phenomena is a subject that deals with the movement of
    different physical quantities in any chemical or mechanical process and describes the basic
    principles and laws of transport.

    The use of transport phenomena in the involvement of its bioprocesses is highly recommended
    because it actually influences the kinetic behavior of cells. It also describes the relations and
    similarities among different type of transport that may occur in any system. In this report, I will
    briefly discuss the three types of transport phenomena and bioprocess operations.

    1. Momentum transport deals with the transport of momentum in fluids and is also known
    as fluid dynamics.
    2. Heat transport deals with the transport of different forms of energy in a system.

    In bioprocessing, heat exchanger occurs most frequently between fluids. Equipment is


    provided to allow transfer of heat while preventing the fluids from actually coming into contact
    with each other. In most heat exchanger, heat is transferred through a solid metal wall which
    separates the fluid streams. Sufficient surface area is provided so that the desired rate of heat
    transfer can be achieved. There are two common applications of heat transfer in bioreactor
    operation. The first is in situ batch sterilization of liquid medium and the second is for
    temperature control during reactor operation.

    3. Mass transport deals with the transport of various chemical species themselves.

    It occurs in distillation, absorption, drying, liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption, etc. Here


    mass is being transferred from one phase to another distinct phase (Geonkoplis, 2012). Mass
    transfer occurs in mixtures containing concentration variations. For example, when dye is
    dropped into a pail of water, mass transfer processes are responsible for the movement of dye
    molecules through the water until equilibrium is established and the concentration is uniform.
    Mass is transferred from one location to another under the influence of a concentration difference
    or concentration gradient in the system. There are many situations in bioprocessing where the
    concentrations of compounds are not uniform; we rely on mechanisms of mass transfer to
    transport materials from one regions of high concentration to regions where the concentration is
    initially low (Doran, 2013).

    Bioprocessing is an essential part of many food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.


    Bioprocess operations make use of microbial, animal, and plant cells, and components of cells
    such as enzymes, to manufacture new products and destroy harmful wastes. Bioprocesses have
    been developed for an enormous range of commercial products, from relatively cheap materials
    such as industrial alcohol and organic solvents, to expensive specialty chemicals such as
    antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, and vaccines. Industrially useful enzymes and living cells such
    as bakers’ and brewers’ yeast are also commercial products of bioprocessing (Doran, 2013).
