Question: Problem 2 ( 3 0 points ) . A protein of molecular weight 3 0 0 0 0 0 is separated from the fermentation broth

Problem 2(30 points). A protein of molecular weight 300000 is separated from the fermentation broth using an ultrafiltration membrane. The flow rate through a chamber 2cm in diameter and 50cm in length is 2L? minutes. The flow is turbulent with a friction factor of f=0.0005. The inlet pressure is 2atm. The concentration of protein in the solution and in the gel film are 30mgL and 100gL respectively.
a) Determine the exit pressure
b) Determine the transmembrane pressure drop
c) If the mass transfer coefficient for the flux of protein is 5cms, determine the flux of liquid through the membrane.
d) If the resistance of the membrane is 0.002atm.cm2scm3, determine the resistance of the gel layer.
