A stream of growth medium containing 60% glucose and 40% growth factor A flowing at 500 kg per hour was divided into two feed streams for different cell cultures. One fourth of the growth medium was sent to fermenter 1 and the rest was sent to fermenter 2. What is the flow rates of glucose and growth factor A in the feed streams for the two fermenters

Glucose is converted to ethanol by immobilized yeast cells entrapped in gel beads. The specific rate of ethanol production is: q_P = 0.2 g ethanol/g-cell-h. The effectiveness factor for an average bead is 0.8. Each bead contains 50 g/L of cells. The voids volume in the column is 40%. Assume growth is negligible (all glucose is converted into ethanol). The feed flow rate is F = 400 l/h and glucose concentration in the feed is S_0i = 150 g glucose/l. The diameter of the column is 1 m and the yield coefficient is about 0.49 g ethanol/g glucose. The column height is 4 m. What is the ethanol concentration in the exit stream?
