Shredded chemical reactor textbooks are degraded to glucose in a pilot plant well stirred fermenter (V_m = 50 lit) under the action of a word gobbling bug. With a large excess of these shredded incomprehensible words, the presence of glucose becomes the rate limiting factor. We summarize the findings as follows

Determine the flow rate of books which maximizes glucose production per word gobbled up, and find this production rate.
