Читать книгу Agitator Design for Gas-Liquid Fermenters and Bioreactors - Gregory T. Benz - Страница 27

When all of the steps are completed as many times as it takes to get the final optimum, the capex and opex per unit of capacity will be optimized. As you may have surmised, that is a lot of work. However, the savings could be quite significant. Moreover, a very experienced agitator designer can quickly go through the optimization for a given set of conditions and aspect ratio by instinctively avoiding designs that his experience indicates are poor or infeasible.

The balance of the book provides background information and details needed to complete these steps to the degree possible. Outside resources will be needed for cost data. The individual chapters are not organized as extensions of the step‐by‐step procedure, but, rather, as sources of information and calculation methods, as well as providing enough fundamental understanding to use the procedures described herein.
