A continuous enzyme reactor consists of a stirred tank of volume 0.01 m3 through which liquid is pumped at 0.02 m3⁄h. The enzyme is immobilised onto non-porous, spherical support particles, and the contents are stirred well to ensure that the composition is uniform and that the particles remain in suspension. A plastic mesh has been placed in front of the exit pipe to prevent the particles from leaving the vessel. The reactor is used to carried out a 98% conversion of a substrate entering at 0.1 kmol m3 ⁄ . Michaelis-Menten kinetics apply, with the following enzyme characteristics: Turnover number = 1 × 10^3 s KM = 5 × 10−3 kmol m3 ⁄ Enzyme RMM = 65,000 (a) If the enzyme is stable, calculate the mass of enzyme that needs to be immobilised. (b) If the enzyme is not stable and experiences exponential denaturation with a half-life of 10 h at the reaction temperature, determine the denaturation constant. (c) How would you expect denaturation to affect the reactor performance?

In the pharmaceutical industry, any batch that deviates from the set parameters is designated as an ’atypical‘ batch and must be investigated before the product can be released. You are a pharmaceutical process engineer, responsible for granulating a pharmaceutical product in a 600litre mixer containing 150kg of dry powders. It was noticed while manufacturing a new batch that the liquid delivery stage ended earlier than usual and the batch contained larger granules than normal. During normal production, the impeller speed is set to 90 rpm and water is added at a flow rate of 2 litre/m n through a nozzle producing an average drop size of 400 um. Due to an incorrect setting, the actual flow rate used in the atypical batch was 3.5 litre/min and the actual drop size was estimated at 250 um. The spray width and powder surface velocity were unaffected and remained constant at 40 cm and 60 cm/s, respectively. Calculate the dimensionless spray flux for the normal case and the atypical batch,…

A sample to be used for medical imaging is labeled with 18F,which has a half-life of 110 min. What percentage of the originalactivity in the sample remains after 300 min?
Nicotiana tabacum cells are cultured to produce a polysaccharide gum. The reactor used is a stirred-tank reactor with an initial volume of 100 L. The maximum specific rate of growth of the culture is 0.18 d-1 and the yield coefficient of substrate in biomass is 0.5 gX/gS. The concentration of the limiting substrate in the medium is 3% (m/v). The reactor is inoculated with 1.5 g/L of cells and operated in batch until the substrate is exhausted, when the medium is fed with a constant flow rate of 8 L/d. The fed batch occurs in a quasi-steady state condition.a) Estimate the time of the batch step and the concentration of cells reached in this phase, considering exponential cell growth.b) The fed batch phase is carried out for a period of 40 days. What is the final concentration of cells in the reactor?c) The bioreactor is available for the process for 275 days a year, with an interval of 24 hours between each cultivation. What is the most advantageous operating mode for the process…

As a public health engieer you have been tasked wiyh designing a plug flow reactor for the disinfection of Giardia lamblia using either free chlorine and monochloramine. The objective is a three log reduction in the concentration of Giardia lamblia. The kinetics of chlorine decay can be described by a first order coefficient of 0.1 d-1. It is also given that the appropriate contact time, t10, equals the hydrualic residence time (HRT or td) of the plug flow reactor. Question: At a temperature of 5oC and a pH of 7.0, what is the volume of the PFR if the flowrate of the water to be disinfected is 1000 L/d for chlorine and monochloramine Disinfection data in the table below can be used.
A 10-L stirred tank is used to cultivate mouse myeloma cells. Dry air is sparged from the bottom at 1.0 L/min to supply oxygen to the system. The gas composition at the outler is 16% oxygen, 3.5% CO2, 6.5% water vapor, and balanced nitrogen. The ambient pressure and temperature are 1 atm and 37 °C, respectively. The dissolved oxygen in the reactor is controlled at 20% of saturation with ambient air. What is the respiratory quotinent (RQ) (i.e., mole CO2 produced/mol O2 consumed)? Assume that the mole fraction of CO2 in the ambient air is negligible. The universal gas constant R = 0.082 L*atm/mol*K
