Chapter 2, Problem 2.14E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The dynamic model for the chemostat should be derived.

Concept introduction:

Fed-batch bioreactor is an effective technique which is biotechnological processes where more than one nutrient is fed to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the products remain in the bioreactor till the run.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

A steady-state relationship between the growth rate and dilution rate should be derived and based on this result a simple strategy should be suggested to control the growth rate.

Concept introduction:

Fed-batch bioreactor is an effective technique which is biotechnological processes where more than one nutrient is fed to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the products remain in the bioreactor till the run.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The value of $\text{D}$ which is result in washouts should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Fed-batch bioreactor is an effective technique which is biotechnological processes where more than one nutrient is fed to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the products remain in the bioreactor till the run.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The plot of steady-state cell production rate DX versus dilution rate D should be drawn and the relationship between the values D and then values of maximum production rate should be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Fed-batch bioreactor is an effective technique which is biotechnological processes where more than one nutrient is fed to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the products remain in the bioreactor till the run.
