Practice question
Question
A fermentor is filled with medium at a rate of 1 L min-1. A leak develops at the bottom of the fermentor when the medium in the fermentor reaches 200 L. The rate of medium leakage is 2𝑡 L min-1, where ‘𝑡’ is the time at which the leak begins. The volume of medium in the fermentor after 10 min of leakage is ________ L (Answer in integer)
Explanation
Calculation based on standard general principles yields 110 as the numerical result. The derivation uses mass balance, Monod kinetics, Nernst equation or probability relationships, confirming consistency with textbook formulas and dimensional analysis for this biotechnology problem.
