- Develop a spreadsheet to predict as functions of time with concentration, volimme and permeate flows for a batch ultrafiltration. Assume that the flux depends on concentration as follows: J(L/M²/H) = A*EXP(-bC) where C is the retentate concentration in g/l. Assume that the recirculation rate is kept high enough that shear rate dependence is eliminated. Do a sample run with C.= 0.5 g/l, Cfinal = 50 g/l, A = 50, and b = 0.02. Assume a filtration area of 19.4M² and an initial volume of 3255 L. Assume σ (protein) = 1.0 or σ (protein) = 0.95 or σ (protein) = 0.90.arrow_forwardthis is multipartarrow_forwardUse the following passage to answer 2 consecutive questions. A urine specimen was collected in a container and placed on the central desk for delivery at 10:00 am. The specimen is not sent to the lab until 5 hours later (3:00 pm). The sample time was marked by the central clerk as collected at 4:00 pm. The bacterial species has a generation time of 30 minutes at room temperature. There are 100 bacterial cells/ml at the time of collection (10:00 am). The laboratory will cite a bacterial infection at more than 1000 bacterial cells/ml.arrow_forward
- When bacteria are grown under adverse conditions, i.e., in the presence of a poison such as an antibiotic, most cells grow and proliferate slowly. But it is not uncommon that the growth rate of a bacterial culture kept in the presence of the poison is restored after a few days to that observed in its absence. suggest why this may be the case.arrow_forwardCalculate the doubling time of a culture of E. coli that is started with 3x105 CFU/mL and grows to 4.6x108 CFU/mL in 3 hours.
