The Michaelis-Menten model is commonly applied in bioprocess engineering to estimate reaction rates in reactors such as immobilized enzyme beds or continuous fermentation systems. By providing substrate concentration, maximum rate, and Michaelis constant, engineers can predict initial rates for sizing and control purposes.
