Frederick Griffith accidentally discovered transformation when attempting to develop a vaccine for pneumonia. He injected mice with samples from S-strain (virulent) and/or R-strain (nonvirulent) pneumococci bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae). Which of the following results is NOT consistent with Griffith's experiments?

Under unaerated condition in a fermentor, the power consumed by a single impeller was 10,000 W. The diameter of the impeller D is 1m and the density of the medium is 1000 kg/m3 and the stirrer speed is 1s^-1. If one more impeller is added to the fermentor, power consumption would be approximately

A stagnant liquid film of 0.4 mm thickness is held between two parallel plates. The top plate is maintained at 400C and the bottom plate is maintained at 300C. If

the thermal conductivity of the liquid is 0.14 W/(m K), then the steady state heat flux ( W/m²) assuming one-dimensional heat transfer is

A fermentation medium is being cooled from 70^0C to 32^0C in a double pipe heat exchanger. Fluid flowing counter currently with this stream in heated from 20^0C

to 46^0C. The log mean temperature difference (in0C) for the two streams is
