I NEED DETAILED SOLUTION SO PLEASE SOLVE IT CAREFULLY.
PLEASE UPLOAD ANSWER WITH THE HIGH QUALITY. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Imagine a culture of bacteria in a steady-state chemostat that secretes a
primary product. The specific growth rate of biomass is adequately described
by the Monod equation, and the rate of product is described
qp=Ypx in kgPkgxh
Because of this system's excellent characterization, the following constants are
understood:
YxS=0.3gg,YPx=0.2gg,YPS=0.8gg
max=0.6h-1,F=20Lh,V=300L
KS=0.1gL,So=10gL,
There is an equal flow rate entering and leaving the chemostat, and the liquid
feed is sterile.
1- Write steady-state mass balances for S,x, and P.
2- What is the steady-state concentration of S?
3- What is the steady-state concentration of x? If you were unable to obtain
an answer for S in part b, use S=0.2gL.
4- If the volume of the reactor is kept constant, what value of the flow rate
would cause "washout" of the reactor?
