A fermenter is maintained at 35⁰C by water circulating at a rate of 0.5 kg s^-1 in a cooling coil inside the vessel. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the water are 8⁰C and 15⁰C respectively. The length of the cooling coil is increased by 50%. In order to maintain the same fermentation temperature, the rate of heat removal must be kept the same. Determine the new cooling-water flow rate and outlet temperature by carrying out the following calculations. The heat capacity of the cooling water can be taken as 4.18 kJ kg^- 1 o C^- 1. By how much are the cooling-water requirements reduced after the new coil is installed?_____________

E. coli was continuously cultured in a continuous stirred tank fermenter with a working volume of 1.0 I by chemostat. A medium containing 4.0 g1-1 of glucose as a carbon source was fed to the fermenter at a constant flow rate of 0.5 I h-1, and the glucose concentration in the output stream was 0.20 g1-1, The cell yield with respect to glucose YxS was 0.42 g dry cells per gram glucose. Determine the cell concentration in the output stream
