Problem 3 Problem 3A At room temperature Lactose (the reactant, A) is hydrolyzed by the catalytic action of the enzyme LACTASE, as follows: lactase Lactose products (glucose, etc) The kinetics of the reaction is given by the Michaelis-Menten type equation, or k[C, ICE A 1+KMCA ka (mol) 1+KC (liter) (min) MA equation (1) Where k = 0.1 min and Km = 1.0 (mol/liter)-1 QUESTION Find the size (VOLUME) of a Mixed Flow Reactor (CSTR) needed for 90% conversion of lactose (reactant A) at a given enzyme concentration in a feed stream (volumetric flow rate) V, of 100 liter/min. the initial concentration of the reactant is Cao = 1.0 mol/liter. Problem 3B At room temperature Lactose (the reactant, A) is hydrolyzed by the catalytic action of the enzyme LACTASE, as follows: lactase Lactose products (glucose, etc) The kinetics of the reaction is given by the Michaelis-Menten type equation, or ] KA k[CAJC EO 1+ KC = -"A (mol) (liter) (min) equation (1) M 1+KC MA A Where ki = 0.1 min-1 and KM = 1.0 (mol/liter)-1 QUESTION Repeat (a) but for a PFR. That is find the size (VOLUME) of a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) needed for 90% conversion of lactose (reactant A) at a given enzyme concentration in a feed stream (volumetric flow rate) v. of 100 liter/min. the initial concentration of the reactant is Cao = 1.0 molliter
