Question:
Bakers’ yeast is produced in a 50,000-litre fermenter under aerobic conditions. The carbon substrate is sucrose; ammonia is provided as the nitrogen source. The average biomass composition is CH1.83 O0.55 N0.17 with 5% ash. Under conditions supporting efficient growth,nbiomass is the only major product and the biomass yield from sucrose is 0.5 g /g. If then specific growth rate is 0.45 h^-1, estimate the rate of heat removal required to maintain constant temperature in the fermenter when the yeast concentration is 10 g/L.
