25 points) Given the following information for an E. coli culture producing biomass (\mu max =1.0 hr-1): S0=10 g/L, S =0.1 g/L, Xm =2 g cells/L, X0=0.25 g cells/L, kd =0.01 hr-1; KS =0.01 g/L, tlag =0.3 hr (D =0.2 hr-1, sterile feed for the chemostat).
(A) Calculate the post-batch processing time needed to give a 2:1 ratio of rates of biomass production of continuous versus batch bioreactors (rc,opt/rb).
