Monod Exercise in Java
This plots the steady state values of X (cell concentration) and S (concentration
of limiting nutrient) versus dilution rate as you select the coefficients.
Things to explore and to explain are:
-
What is the effect of So on the plot of S versus D?
-
In what range of dilution rate is Em important?
-
In what range of dilution rate is Ks important?
-
Why does X show wash out prior to reaching the maximum m?
(Hint: try low So)
