A substrate is decomposed in the presence of an enzyme according to the Michaelis-Menten equation with the following kinetic parameters Km-24 g/L Vmax 12 g/L-min a. Determine the concentration of substrate leaving the second reactor in a two-reactor series of 20-liter CSTRs. The flow rate is 3.60 L/min. The inlet substrate concentration is 72 g The enzyme concentration in the two reactors is maintained at the same value all of the time. b. Determine the efficiency in terms of substrate conversion of the two-reactor system and the efficiency of a single CSTR equal to the total volume of the two-reactor system. Clearly indicate the configuration with the greater efficiency.i
Part (a)
Let the reaction taking place in the CSTR be,
S→P
According to the Michaelis-Menten equation, the reaction rate for this reaction is defined as written below.
For two CSTR’s in series;
Volume of each CSTR is, V = 20 L
Volumetric flowrate is, V̇ = 3.60 L/min
Initial concentration of the substrate is, [S0] = 72 g/L
Now, calculate the convers...
