Bakers' yeast is produced in a 50 000-litre fermenter under aerobic conditions. The carbon substrate is sucrose; ammonia is provided as nitrogen source. The average biomass composition is CH_1.830_0.55N_0.17 with 5% ash. Under efficient growth conditions, biomass is the only major product; the biomass yield from sucrose is 0.5 g g^-I. If the specific growth-rate is 0.45 h^-l, estimate the rate of heat removal required to maintain constant temperature in the fermenter when the yeast concentration is 10 g l^{- 1}     _______________________.10^6

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 ethanol concentration in the effluent (g/l . h) if YP/S = 0.48 g ethanol/g glucose
