Acetobacter aceti converts alcohol to acetic acid according to the schiometric relation

In a vigorously agitated and aerated reactor containing 20 g/l ethanol, the organism produces 16g/l acetic acid and 2g/l was the residual ethanol concentration what are the theoretical and observed yields of acetic acid expressed in g/g ethanol

Ethanol is to be used as a substrate for single-cell protein production in a chemostat. The available equipment can achieve an oxygen transfer rate of 10 g O₂/l of liquid per hour. Assume the kinetics of cell growth on ethanol is of the Monod type, with µm = 0.5 h^–1, K_s = 30 mg/l, YX/S = 0.5 cells/g ethanol, and YO2/S = 2 g O2/g EtOH. We wish to operate the chemostat with an ethanol concentration in the feed of 22 g/L. We also wish to maximize the biomass productivity and minimize the loss of unused ethanol in the effluent. Determine the required dilution rate
