Thanks.
The production of a product P from a particular bacteria follows the Monod growth law, with max=1h-1,
Ks=0.25gdm3 and Ycs=0.5gg.
(a) If the reaction is first tested in a batch reactor with the initial cell concentration of C0=0.1gdm3 and
substrate concentration Cs0=20gdm3. Plot Cs and Cc as a function of time.
(b) The reaction is now scaled up in a CSTR with Cs0=20gdm3 and Cc0=0. What is the dilution rate
when wash-out occurs and also when maximum production of cells occurs?
(c) Repeat part (b) if we include cell death with kd=0.02h-1 and substrate maintenance with m=0.2
gh?dm3.
