Aiba et al.(1968) reported the results of a chemostat study on the growth of a specific strain of baker's yeat as shown in the following table. The inlet stream of the chemostat did not contain any cells or products:
\table[[Dilution Rate,,Inlet concentration,Steady State concentration (g/L)],[D,1/hr,(g/L), Glucose, Cs,Glucose, Cs,Ethanol, Cp,Cells, Cx],[0.084,21.5,0.054,7.97,2.00],[0.100,10.9,0.079,4.70,1.20],[0.160,21.2,0.138,8.57,2.40],[0.198,20.7,0.186,8.44,2.33],[0.242,10.8,0.226,4.51,1.25]]
(a) Find the rate equation for cell growth in the form of m**SKS+S**x. Determine m and KS from the data and then write the final form of the equation.
