A particular bioreactor is described by a
Levenspiel plot shown in the figure. Estimate the
volume of a CSTR reactor fed with a rate of 1kg/h
and substrate concentration Cs0=0.25 g/dm3 that is
required to achieve conversion of 80%. Assume
the density of the solution 1kg/dm3. Suggest a
combination of CSTR and PFR reactors to achieve
the same conversion with the minimal volume.
Estimate the volume required in this case.A particular bioreactor is described by a
