Problem 10.1 (Textbook Shuler and Kargi)

The document provides a table to be filled in with values to calculate: 1) The gradient (rate of change of DO concentration) for each time point. 2) The overall uptake rate (OUR) by taking the gradient between times 0-3 minutes when air is off. 3) The mass transfer coefficient (kLa) by plotting the gradient plus OUR against the saturation deficit and taking the slope of the line between times 8-15 minutes when air is on.

To find OUR:

Plot graph DO (mg/mL) vs. time (min)

OUR =slope of graph at time from 0-3 min = 1.01 mg/Lmin


To find kLa:

Calculate dCL/dt for each point starting from time 8 -15 min (at the exponential line) and fill in the table.
Plot graph of (dCL/dt+OUR) vs. (C*-CL)

Slope of the graph = kLa= 0.265 min-1
