Shоw аll wоrk оn scrаtch pаper. In textbox, please indicate "Refer to scratch paper for answer" Microbial cells, x, mediate the conversion of a substrate, s, to a soluble product, p. A continuously fed well-mixed fermentor (CSTR) with constant volume V, contains cells and substrate initially at concentration x0 and so respectively (no product). A sterile feed containing no product enters the fermenter with volumetric flow rate F; fermentation broth leaves (product stream) at the same rate. The concentration of substrate in the feed is si. The rate of cell growth (production) in the fermentor is The rate of substrate consumption in the fermentor is The rate of product formation is where (M=mass, L=length and T=time in the following notations for dimensions) rx, rs and rp are the volumetric rate of cell growth, substrate consumption and product formation respectively with dimensions M L-3T-1. k1 is rate constant with dimensions T-1 . k2 and k3 are constants with dimensions M M-1. x, s and p are the concentration of cells, substrate and product in the fermenter with dimensions M L-3. so and xo are initial concentrations of substrate and cells in the fermentor at start of operation with dimensions M L-3. si is the concentration of substrate in the feed to the fermentor with dimension M L-3. K is a constant with dimension M L-3. V is volume of liquid in fermentor with dimensions L3. t is the time elapsed from start of fermentor operation with dimension T. A. On scratch paper, draw a labelled, schematic diagram of the fermentor showing feed and product streams and concentrations of substrate, cells and product in the fermentor, and feed and product streams. B. Using the above notations derive differential equations for the unsteady-state mass balances for concentration of cells, substrate and product in the fermentor. What boundary conditions will you use to solve these differential equations. Do not solve the differential equations. C. From the above equations derive expressions for steady state concentration of substrate, cells and product, in terms of F, V, K, k1, k2, k3 and si.
