cells are grown in a CSTR a steady state at two dilution rates 0.1 h^-1 and 0.5h^-1 and the steady state concentrations are as follows: 

if the inlet substrate concentration is 20 g/I, the cells follow monod growth kinetics and product formation kinetics is modelled as a both growth associated and non growth associated kinetics given by the equation then answer the following questions, the best estimate of maximum specific growth rate is:
