CHME 7600 — Pharmaceutical Engineering I
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: T/FBostonTraditional
Introduces the fundamental principles of chemical engineering as applied to biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Emphasizes quantitative problem solving. Covers conservation principles (mass and energy balances), kinetics (enzyme kinetics and cell growth kinetics), and heat transfer (sterilization, reactor heat management). Focuses on bioprocess economics and upstream unit operations, principally bioreactor design. The application of computer programming and numerical methods to solve these problems is interwoven throughout the course.This is the first of a two-semester course series.
