Bioprocess Engineering
# Example: Simple batch fermentation model
def batch_fermentation(X0, mu, t):
"""
Calculate cell concentration in batch culture.
X0: Initial cell concentration
mu: Specific growth rate (h^-1)
t: Time (hours)
"""
return X0 * np.exp(mu * t)
def yield_coefficient(S0, Xf, P):
"""Calculate biomass and product yields."""
Yx_s = (Xf - X0) / (S0 - Sf) # Biomass yield
Yp_s = P / (S0 - Sf) # Product yield
return Yx_s, Yp_s
