The amount of biomass in a reactor at the end of the batch process is 50 g. Fed- batch operation is initiated by feeding the substrate solution at a constant rate of 1 L h -1. The concentration of substrate in the feed is 50 g L -1. The maximum biomass yield (Y௑ௌ ெ) is 0.4 ୥ ୠ୧୭୫ୟୱୱ ୥ ୱ୳ୠୱ୲୰ୟ୲ୣ. Assuming the system is at quasi-steady state, the maximum amount of biomass after 5 h of feeding is _____________ g. .59 An enzyme catalyzes the conversion of substrate A into product B. The rate equation for this reaction is 5 A A A Cr C   mol L-1 min-1 Substrate A at an initial concentration of 10 mol L -1 enters an ideal mixed flow reactor (MFR) at a flow rate of 10 L min-1. The volume of the MFR required for 50% conversion of substrate to product is ___________ L.
