QUESTION

The cells whose proliferation model is given below are propagated in the $1$ L GKT$.$

$=\frac{{}_{\text{m}\text{a}\text{x}}}{\frac{1+K_S}{C_S}+\frac{C_S}{K_i}}$

The inlet stream is sterile and the substrate concentration in the reactor at steady state can be

increased by varying the flow rate.

measured and given in the table.

a$)$ Calculate the kinetic constants of the velocity model.

b$)$ If the cell proliferation efficiency is $Y\frac{x}{S}=0\mathrm{.}46,$ what is the substrate concentration at the

reactor outlet when the flow rate is $0\mathrm{.}2\frac{L}{h}?$
