Question: The enzyme catalyzed reaction: E + S P + E The rate of formation P is observed in the lab as shown in Fig. P

The enzyme catalyzed reaction:
E+SP+E
The rate of formation P is observed in the lab as shown in Fig. P7.12 with an enzyme loading of E0=50 Units ?L. In an industrial application, it is decided that enzyme loading can be raised to 75 Units/L. This reaction is to be carried out in a fluidized CSTR with an immobilized enzyme system. The volumetric flow rate is 380Lh and the feed concentration of the substrate is 60mmolL. Assume that there is no loss of the enzyme to the effluent and the effectiveness factor of the immobilized enzymes is 100%, that is, no impact of immobilization on the enzyme on catalytic activity. Determine the conversion of substrate if the reactor has a working volume of 1000L.
