The feed to the bioreactor is oxygen gas and an aqueous solution of ammonia and glucose. The
water (not including the ammonia and glucose dissolved in it) in the feed aqueous solution enters
the bioreactor at a flowrate of 2982 mols H2 O/day (see Figure below). The Ammonia in the feed
is completely consumed in the bioreactor. The glucose is 15 % in excess with respect to
ammonia. The oxygen gas is 25% in excess with respect to ammonia. Please help solve for the molar flow rates of all species leaving the bioreactor. Answers are shown in the photo so if yours don't match up they are wrong.
