Observed Cell Yield Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Observed Cell Yield?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Yobs=(Y1)+(kdθc)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Yobs=(0.51)+(0.05d⁻¹7d)
Next Step Convert Units
Yobs=(0.51)+(5.8E-7s⁻¹604800s)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Yobs=(0.51)+(5.8E-7604800)
LAST Step Evaluate
Yobs=0.85

Observed Cell Yield Formula Elements

Variables
Observed Cell Yield
Observed Cell Yield refers to the observed mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Symbol: Yobs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Yield Coefficient
Maximum Yield Coefficient refers to the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0.4 to 0.8.
Endogenous Decay Coefficient
Endogenous Decay Coefficient refers to the rate at which microorganisms in the biomass consume their own cell mass in the absence of an external food source.
Symbol: kd
Measurement: First Order Reaction Rate ConstantUnit: d⁻¹
Note: Value should be between 0.025 to 0.075.
Mean Cell Residence Time
Mean Cell Residence Time is the average time that the sludge remains in the reactor.
Symbol: θc
Measurement: TimeUnit: d
Note: Value should be between 5 to 15.

How to Evaluate Observed Cell Yield?

Observed Cell Yield evaluator uses Observed Cell Yield = (Maximum Yield Coefficient/1)+(Endogenous Decay Coefficient*Mean Cell Residence Time) to evaluate the Observed Cell Yield, The Observed cell Yield formula is defined as the amount of biomass produced per unit of substrate consumed. It is a critical parameter in bioprocesses, particularly in the context of microbial growth and wastewater treatment. Observed Cell Yield is denoted by Yobs symbol.

How to evaluate Observed Cell Yield using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Observed Cell Yield, enter Maximum Yield Coefficient (Y), Endogenous Decay Coefficient (kd) & Mean Cell Residence Time c) and hit the calculate button.
