Laboratory-scale fermenters are usually mixed using small stirrers with electric motors rated between 100 and 500 W. One such motor is used to drive a 7cm turbine impeller in a small reactor containing fluid with the properties of water. The stirrer speed is 900 rpm. Estimate the power requirements for this process.

system for manufacture of single-cell protein is Methylophilus methylotrophus. This organism is produced aerobically from methanol with ammonia as nitrogen source. The molecular formula for the biomass is CH 1.6800.36N0.22; these cells contain 6% ash. If the actual yield of biomass from methanol is 42% the thermodynamic maximum, what is the oxygen demand?
