Practice question
Question
The values of the consistency index ‘ K ’ and the flow behavior index ‘ n ’ of a dilatant fluid are 0.415 (in CGS units) and 1.23, respectively. The value of the apparent viscosity (in g cm ⁻¹ s ⁻¹ ) of this fluid at a shear rate of 60 s ⁻ ¹ (rounded off to the nearest integer) is ___________.
Explanation
Calculation based on standard bioprocess principles yields 1 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.
