Q65

Inversion of sucrose by immobilized invertase follows a substrate inhibited kinetics. The reaction rate (v) in mol m-3 h-1 can be expressed as: v = 800[S] \ 400 + 50[S] + [S]^2 \; where [S] is the sucrose concentration. The immobilized invertase preparation is used in a CSTR with 100 mol m-3 sucrose concentration in the feed stream. If the reaction velocity passes through a maximum at [S] = 20 mol m-3 the feed flow rate for a reactor volume of 1 m3 to get the maximum productivity from the reactor should be
