What does the Monod equation describe in microbial growth kinetics?

Determine the active biomass production rate as g VSS/(d m3). Present your answer to one decimal points. 

Determine the effluent bsCOD concentration as g bsCOD/m3.

Choose all equations for balanced equation for energy production ?

Choose all equations for balanced equation for cell synthesis?

Determine the total VSS production rate as (kg VSS)/d. 

How does evidence of a medicine’s efficacy influence the selection of essential medicines?

See this lecture note attached. What is a common reason for observing deviations between MLVSS and Biomass VSS as SRT increases?

Use this balanced equation:   Note that this equation is made up just for this Question and is not correct stoichiometrically. Molecular weight of acetate (CH3COOH) is 60 g/mole. Molecular weight of cell material (C5H7O3N) is 129 g/mole. Molecular weight of oxygen (O2) is 32 g/mole. COD of acetate is 1.07 g COD/g substrate. 1 g of cells can be assumed to be 1 g VSS.

Determine how much energy can be produced as kJ/mole of electron.
