Bioprocesses Design: MATLAB Basics

This lecture provides tools for designing and optimizing bioprocesses in various fields such as chemical research, pharmaceuticals, waste treatment, and biomedical applications. Students will develop programming skills using MATLAB for modeling, visualization, and analysis, with a focus on enzyme and microbial kinetics, chemical engineering design principles, and bioreactor modeling. The course includes practical projects covering batch, continuous, and fed-batch reactors, as well as oxygen uptake systems. Students will learn to solve systems of ODEs, implement steady-state solutions, and use MATLAB for simulations. The grading criteria emphasize code format, presentation clarity, and bonus questions. Additional topics cover project report requirements, MATLAB functions, and code clarity best practices.
