A bioreactor can refer to any device or system constructed on engineering basis and has an active biological medium. This medium includes aerobic and non-aerobic reactions in which organisms and the theire produced substances have the main role. One of the applications of bioreactors is to provide an appropriate medium for animal and plant cell culture and growth. Nowadays many biological processes in high volume scales are carried out in stirred tank bioreactors. In these bioreactors oxygen transfer is usually increased by increasing turbulence which is necessary for mixing nutrients and keeping the homogeneity of the medium. However, there are some limitations for increasing the stirring...
