Concept explainers
Bacteria growing in a batch reactor utilize a soluble food source (substrate) as depictedin Fig.P28.16. The up take of the substrate is represented by a logistic model with Michaelis-Menten limitation. Death of the bacteria produces detritus which is subsequently converted to the substrate by hydrolysis. In addition, the bacteria also excrete some substrate directly. Death, hydrolysis, and excretion are all simulated as first-order reactions. Mass balances can be written as
