If you're going to write it in handwriting, please write it clearly so I can recognize it. I don't want you to write solution in cursive letter.
I can give you thumbs up when your answer is correct.
Thanks.
The growth of cells of a certain bacteria can be expressed in terms of the logistic growth law:
rg=m(1-CcCm)CC
where Cc is the concentration of cells (in g/dm^3), and m=0.5h-1 and Cm=20gdm3 are constants of
the rate law. For the purposes of this problem the concentration of substrate (Cs) is in large excess and
hence can be considered constant.
(a) For a batch reactor with an initial inoculation of 2g of cells into the 2dm3 reactor, plot the concentration
of cells versus time for 0t24h.
(b) For a Chemostat with Cc0=0gdm3, determine the washout dilution rate and the dilution rate that
maximises production of the bacteria.
