Decreased as a funciton of temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. Is further decreased due to oxygen limitation as specific OUR reaches critical lows.
Biomass:
Increases exponentially with growth rate
Product
Increases according to specific productivity and biomass concentration.
Specific Productivity
A function of incremental biomass and product yields along with carbun uptake
Yields
Biomass yield decreases with growth rate while product yield increases.
vOUR (mM/hr)
Calculated from specific OUR which is a function of growth rate and oxygen limitations
Volume
Calculated from carbon feed, carbon being combusted, densities (co-feeds not included...yet).
Agitation
Used Richards Correlation to estimate the KLa (Shuler, 2002). Gas hold-up was calculated using formula 1 of (Moucha, 2002).
