In spring the fermentation of fruit flies proceeds with n = 1 kinetics, as shown in Example 30.1. However, in winter or summer, maybe because of a difference in temperature, the poisoning proceeds differently. So repeat Example 30.1 with one change:

Example 30.1

Crushed fruit flies (A) ferment to produce an aromatic alcoholic drink (R) with product-limiting kinetics estimated as follows:

What is the most alcohol you can produce (kg/hr) in a commercial-sized mixed flow reactor (Vm = 30 m³)? Also calculate the concentration of alcohol in the cocktail, and the feed rate needed of fragrant fresh frappCed fluit fries.
