Consider the growth of a microorganism in batch culture. When the substrate concentration is high, the cell density doubles every 0.75 h, the observed substrate yield coefficient is 0.3 g DCW/g, and substrate consumption is allocated towards biosynthesis (60%), maintenance (10%), as well as product formation (30%). The product formation is strictly growth-associated. The batch reactor is inoculated with 0.01 g DCW/L and 10 g/L substrate. Estimate the maximum cell density (after lag phase).

Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
In the reaction,

Immobilised lactase is used to hydrolyse lactose in dairy waste to glucose and galactose. Enzyme is immobilised in resin particles and packed into a 0.5 m3 column. The total effectiveness factor for the system is close to unity; Km for the immobilised enzyme is 1.32 kg m-3; Vmax is 45 kg m-3 h-1. The lactose concentration in the feed stream is 9.5 kg m-3; a substrate conversion of 98% is required. The column is operated with plug flow for a total of 310 d per year. At what flow rate should the reactor be operated?
