What would be the sucrose concentration in the input feed for the output to be 45 Kg biomass h^-1?
Options:
(A) 3.225 Kg m^-3
(B) 4.425 Kg m^-3
(C) 5.115 Kg m^-3
(D) 6.525 Kg m^-3
Answer
Answer: (C) 5.115 Kg m^-3
Explanation: To find the sucrose concentration for a specific biomass output, use the formula: Sf=Yx/sXout−Xs×Sr+Sr. For an output of 45 Kg biomass h^-1, and using the yield from previous calculation, Sf=0.46245Kg/h×4.5+2.0. Calculating gives Sf=5.115Kg/m3.
