![## The Production of a Product P from Gram-Negative Bacteria: Monod Growth Law
The Monod growth law for the production of a product P from a specific gram-negative bacteria is described by the following equation:
\[ r_g = \frac{\mu_{\text{max}} C_s C_c}{K_s + C_s} \]
**Parameters:**
- \(\mu_{\text{max}} = 1 \, \text{h}^{-1}\)
- \(K_s = 0.25 \, \text{g/dm}^3\)
- \(Y_{c/s} = 0.5 \, \text{g/g}\)
### (a) Batch Reactor Conditions
- **Initial Conditions:**
- \(C_{c0} = 0.1 \, \text{g/dm}^3\) (Initial cell concentration)
- \(C_{s0} = 20 \, \text{g/dm}^3\) (Substrate concentration)
- **Equation for Cell Concentration:**
\[ C_c = C_{c0} + Y_{c/s}(C_{s0} - C_s) \]
- **Task:** Plot \(r_g\), \(-r_s\), \(-r_c\), \(C_s\), and \(C_c\) as a function of time.
### (b) Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) Conditions
The reaction is proposed to be carried out in a CSTR with:
- \(C_{s0} = 20 \, \text{g/dm}^3\)
- \(C_{c0} = 0\)
**Objective:** Determine the dilution rate at which washout occurs.
### (c) Optimal Dilution Rate for Maximum Product Rate
- **Given:** \(Y_{p/c} = 0.15 \, \text{g/g}\)
**Objective:**
1. Calculate the dilution rate (D) that maximizes the product rate \((g/h)\).
2. Determine the concentrations \(C_c\), \(C_s\), \(C_p\), and \(-r_s\) at this optimal dilution rate.
