- A first-order liquid phase reaction \( A \rightarrow B \) is conducted in two isothermal plug flow reactors (PFRs) of volume 1 m\(^3\) each, connected in series. The feed flow rate and concentration of A to the first reactor are 10 m\(^3\) h\(^{-1}\) and 1 kmol m\(^{-3}\), respectively. At steady-state, the concentration of A at the exit of the second reactor is 0.2 kmol m\(^{-3}\). If the two PFRs are replaced by two equal-volume continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) to achieve the same overall steady-state conversion, the volume of each CSTR, in m\(^3\), is:

- A chemostat with cell recycle is shown in the figure. The feed flow rate and culture volume are \( F = 75 \) L/h and \( V = 200 \) L, respectively. The glucose concentration in the feed \( C_{S0} = 15 \) g/L. Assume Monod kinetics with specific cell growth rate \(\mu_g=\)\( \frac{1}{C_c} \frac{dC_c}{dt} = \frac{\mu_m C_S}{K_s + C_S} \),, where \( \mu_m = 0.25 \) h\(^{-1}\) and \( K_s = 1 \) g/L. Assume maintenance, and death rates to be zero, input feed to be sterile (\( C_{S0} = 0 \)), and steady-state operation. The glucose concentration in the recycle stream, \( C_{S1} \), in g/L, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is ____.
