In bioreactors,the growth is autocatalytic in that the more cells you have,the greater the growth rate.cell + nutrients = more cells + productsThe cell growth rate and the rate of nutrients consumption are directly proportional to the concentration of the cells for a given set of conditionsFor a nutrient feed rate of 1kg/h with Cso=0.25g/dm3 what chemostat (CSTR) size is necessary to achievea) 40% conversion of the substrate?b) 80% conversion of the substrate?c) What conversion could be achieved with 80dm3 CSTR? 80dm3 PFR?d) How could you arrange a CSTR and PFR in series to achieve 80% conversion with the minimum total volume? Repeat for two CSTR in series.
