- B. Turbine type requires 50 % less air than disc type for the same yield and energy consumption
- C. Both (a) and (b)
- D. Number of blades in the stirrer
- Correct Answer
- Both (a) and (b)
- 1. Larger propellers turn at the speed of
Options- A. 20 to 150 rpm
- B. 150 to 300 rpm
- C. 400 to 800 rpm
- D. 1150 rpm Discuss
- 2. Froude number is avoided in calculation of power requirements for low viscosity liquid mixing systems when
Options- A. baffled systems are used
- B. Reynolds number is less than 300
- C. both (a)and(b)
- D. none of these Discuss
- 3. Monoclonal antibodies are typically produced in fed batch reactors because
Options- A. hybridoma cells ferment at high maltose concentrations
- B. hybridoma cells yield higher lactate at high glucose concentrations
- C. hybridoma cells respire at high glucose concentrations
- D. none of the above Discuss
- 4. Yeast is typically produced in fed batch reactors because
Options- A. yeast cells produce ethanol at low glucose concentrations
- B. yeast cells ferment at low glucose concentrations
- C. yeast cells respire at low glucose concentrations
- D. all of the above Discuss
- 5. Continuous culture has an advantage over to a batch cultures as

- D. all of the above Discuss
- 6. In the bubble boundary layer, oxygen concentration can be determined by measuring
Options- A. the steady state oxygen concentration in a mixed aerated reactor before inoculation
- B. the steady state oxygen concentration in a mixed aerated reactor after inoculation
- C. the steady state oxygen concentration in the boundary layer using a micro-probe
- D. volume of oxygen supplied Discuss
- 7. The addition of antifoams to an aerated bioreactor will decrease oxygen transfer rates because antifoams
Options- A. increase the tendency of bubbles to coalesce
- B. tend to accumulate in the gas liquid interface
- C. reduce the surface tension of the liquid
- D. All of the above answers Discuss
- 8. The dynamic technique is based on the
Options- A. oxygen material balance in an aerated batch fermenter during the growth of microorganisms
- B. change of the oxygen concentration
- C. oxidation of the sodium sulfite to sodium sulfate
- D. oxygen material balance in a fermenter Discuss
- 9. During aeration, a cylindrical reactor had a height of 10 m. Without aeration, the height was 7.5 m. Under these aeration and mixing conditions, the gas hold up in the reactor is
