A continuous process is set up for treatment of wastewater. Each day, 10⁵ kg cellulose and 10³ kg bacteria enter in the feed stream, while 10⁴ kg cellulose and 1.5 x 10⁴ kg bacteria leave in the effluent. The rate of cellulose digestion by the bacteria is 7 x 10⁴ kg d^-1. The rate of bacterial growth is 2 x 10⁴ kg d^-1 ; the rate of cell death by lysis is 5 x 10² kg d^-1. Write balances for cellulose and bacteria in the system.

Baby hamster kidney cells are immobilised in alginate beads. The average particle diameter is 5 mm. Rate of oxygen consumption at a bulk concentration of 8 x 10 ^-3 kg 0 2 m ^-3 is 8.4 x 10 ^-5 kg s^- 1 m^-3 catalyst. The effective diffusivity of oxygen in the beads is 1.88 x 10^ -9 m 2 s^- 1. Assume that the oxygen concentration at the surface of the catalyst is equal to the bulk concentration, and that oxygen uptake follows zero-order kinetics. calculate the observable Thiele modulus.
