AR18 The answer must be perfect. Create a diagram if needed. Strict warning: AI-generated content is not allowed. "Problem 13.8 Formation of lactic acid from glucose is realized in a batch reactor using Streptococcus lactis. The reactor is initially charged with 5 L medium containing 5 g/L glucose and 0.1 g/L cell biomass. There is no lactic acid present initially. The following information was obtained from experimental studies.
m =0.2 h-1, KS =200 mg/L, kd =0.002 h-1, YFX/S =0.4 g-X/g-S,p =0.1g.
a. Plot the variations of S, X, and P with reaction time.
b. Determine the maximum production rate of lactic acid in g/(day-L) if with each batch a reactor loading, unloading and sterilization time of 3.5 is needed."
