A fluidized-bed, immobilized-cell bioreactor is used for the conversion of glucose to ethanol by Z. mobilis cells immobilized in k-carrageenan gel beads. The dimensions of the bed are 10 cm (diameter) by 200 cm. Since the reactor is fed from the bottom of the column and because of CO₂ gas evolution, substrate and cell concentrations decrease with the height of the column. The average cell concentration at the bottom of the column is X₀ = 45 g/l, and the average cell concentration decreases with the column height according to the following equation:

where Z is the column height (cm). The specific rate of substrate consumption is q_S = 2 g S/g cells. h. The feed flow rate and glucose concentration in the feed are 5 l/h and 160 g glucose/l, respectively.

Determine the substrate (glucose) concentration in the effluent
