A complete-mix flow reactor is designed to treat an influent waste stream containing 130mg/L of casein at a flow rate of 80 liters per minute (lpm). Assume that casein removal follows first-order removal kinetics with a rate constant, k, of 0.5h-1 and that the effluent should contain 13 mg/L of casein at steady state. Determine: a. the detention time in hours b. the volume of the reactor in cubic meters
