Question
A specific enzyme acts as catalyst in the fermentation of reactant A. At a given enzyme
concentration in the aqueous feed stream, find the volume of plug flow reactor needed for
95% concentration of reactant A (CAO = 2 mol/L) to produce 100 kg R/hour. The kinetics of the
fermentation at this enzyme concentration is given by :
