The growth of an organism on glucose is described by the following Monod model parameters: ?m = 0.5 h-1 and Ks =0.1 g.l-1, if the concentration of glucose in the feed is 10 g.l-1 and the dilution rate is set to 0.4 h-1, then the steady state concentration of glucose in the effluent will be
Options
A. 0 g.l-1
B. 0.5 g.l-1
C. 1.0 g.l-1
D. 10 g.l-1
Correct Answer
0.5 g.l-1
