The biomass reaction

Substrate S + Cells⎯⎯→ More cells + Product
takes place in a 12-dm³ CSTR (chemostat) where the entering concentration of substrate is 200 g/dm³.The rate law follows the Monod equation with µ_max = 0.5s^–1 and K_S =50 g/dm³. What is the volumetric flow rate, v₀ (dm³/h), that will give the maximum production rate of cells (g/h)?
