The calculations above used JavaScript. The following uses Java but it slighly flaky. Leaving the mouse in the "New Run" box should prevent the image disappearing. Note that the gradient is steep when the coefficient is small.

  • Continuous Sterilization of Media,
  • Sterilization of Air
  • Thermal pollution will not be on the quiz but provides perspectives for biochemical engineers.
