Biosystems Engineering and its Applications: A study on the integration of engineering, biology, physics, mechanics and electronics with relevant applications

Biosystems Engineering is a new scientific discipline that applies biological principles to develop new engineering solutions for agriculture, food, forestry, aquaculture, energy, environment, medicine and industry. This discipline integrates the life sciences with engineering and the physical sciences. This book discusses the integration of engineering, biology, physics, mechanics, and electronics etc. which formulate the emerging discipline of Biosystems Engineering. This book elucidates the role of Biosystems Engineer in designing, manufacturing and operating bioreactors as well as managing, controlling and maintaining various biosystems. Eventually, the methods of producing high value-added bioproducts such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and others such as power and heat from biomass and renewable biological resources are discussed.
