1+1+3)

Q2. Recycic biorcacior can be operated at dilution rates higher than specific growth rate. Support your answer showing derivation.    (5)

Q3. Prove that PER is a batch reactor working in continuous mode. <5)

Q4. Prove that at the steady state for CSTR.

X- DY (So*S>'(KY>n)

Vk here - n XY - - n XT - KX Y: Y** aid Y* apparent yield.    (5)

Q5. Inachemostat with cell recycle the feed flow rate & culture volumes arc F=l00ml^/h and Y=1000ml respectively. The system is operated under the glucose limitation & the maximum yield is 0 5 gdw cells per gm substrate. Glucose concentration in the feed is 10 gm/l, umax * 0.2 h'¹ and Ks=l g/1, C=1.5, a=0.7. The system is at steady state.

a)    Find the substrate conc. in recycle stream

b)Find    pnet of the organism

c)    Fmd the cell conc. in the recycle stream    (5 = 2+1+2)
