Bioreactor-model is a Python package for bioreactor and biomass growth calculations
1. Install bioreactor-model by typing in terminal:
pip install bioreactor-model
2. Compute biomass molecular composition and biomass molecular weight with dry weights and ash fraction:
from bioreactor_model import calc
expt = calc.CellComposition(values={'C':47,'H':4.15,'N':10,'O':31,'ash_fraction':7.85}, dry_weights=True)
print(expt.biomass_composition) # biomass composition
print(expt.biomass_molar_weight) # molecular weight = 25.545
3. Compute biomass equation with above biomass composition and gaseous inlet-outlet exchange values:
be = calc.BiomassEquation(expt.biomass_composition)
be.set_gas_io_values(79,21,10,83,7)
be.solve_biomass_equation()
print(be.biomass_equation_solution['string']) # biomass equation string
print(be.biomass_equation_solution['molar_coeff']) # molar coefficients of biomass equation
print(be.biomass_equation_solution['biomass_composition']) # biomass composition
print(be.biomass_equation_solution['rq']) # respiratory quotient = 0.664
