To measure the extent to which the reaction rate is lowered because of resistance to mass transfer, the effectiveness factor of an immobilized enzyme, ? can be defined as
Options
A. reaction rate/rate if not slowed by diffusion
B. rate if not slowed by diffusion/ reaction rate
C. actual reaction rate/ rate if not slowed by diffusion
D. rate if not slowed by diffusion/ actual reaction rate
Correct Answer
actual reaction rate/ rate if not slowed by diffusion

Correct Answer: decreases the productivity of the fermenter
8. The cellular productivity in a continuous stirred tank fermenter (CSTF) increases with an increase in the dilution rate and reaches a maximum value. If the dilution rate is increased beyond the maximum point, the productivity will
