Question

At a biotechnological production facility, yeast cells are being used to produce a valuable chemical. For this purpose, a continuous process is employed, where two substrate streams are continuously fed to a bioreactor, and a product stream including yeast cells, the product, and leftover substrates exits the bioreactor. No accumulation takes place in the reactor. The substrate utilized by yeast cells (let’s call it “S”) is present in the first input stream. In the second input stream, S is not present. The flow rates of the first and second streams are equal to each other. After careful adjustments, engineers at this facility achieve a conversion rate of 95% of this substrate (by mass)in the bioreactor.
Acording to this, draw and completely label the flow chart of this process
