Question:

Cellulose can be converted to sugar by the following enzymatic attack cellulase cellulase sugar

and both celluboise and glucose act to inhibit the breakdown. To study the kinetics of this reaction a number of runs are made in a mixed flow reactor kept at 50°C and using a feed of finely shredded cellulose (C_A0 = 25 kg/m3), enzyme (C_EO = 0.01 kg/m³, same for all runs), and various inhibitors. The results are as follows: Exit Stream Run CA, kg/m 1 2 3 4 1.5 4.5 9.0 21.0 Series 1 no Inhibitor 7, min 587 279 171 36 Series 2 with
