Chapter 9, Problem 9.15P

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 μmax = 0.5s−1 and KS = 50 g/dm3. What is the volumetric flow rate, v0 (dm3/h), that will give the maximum production rate of cells (g/h)?
