Observed Cell Yield Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Observed Cell Yield = (Maximum Yield Coefficient/1)+(Endogenous Decay Coefficient*Mean Cell Residence Time)
Y_obs = (Y/1)+(k_d*θ_c)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Observed Cell Yield - Observed Cell Yield refers to the observed mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Maximum Yield Coefficient - Maximum Yield Coefficient refers to the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Endogenous Decay Coefficient - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - 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.
Mean Cell Residence Time - (Measured in Second) - Mean Cell Residence Time is the average time that the sludge remains in the reactor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Endogenous Decay Coefficient: 0.05 1 Per Day --> 5.78703703703704E-07 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
Mean Cell Residence Time: 7 Day --> 604800 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Y_obs = (Y/1)+(k_d*θ_c) --> (0.5/1)+(5.78703703703704E-07*604800)

Evaluating ... ...

Y_obs = 0.85

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.85 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.85 <-- Observed Cell Yield

What is Maximum Cell Yield?

Maximum Cell Yield Y represents the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed. For the activated sludge process for domestic wastewater, Y ranges from 0.4 to 0.8.

How to Calculate Observed Cell Yield?

Observed Cell Yield calculator uses Observed Cell Yield = (Maximum Yield Coefficient/1)+(Endogenous Decay Coefficient*Mean Cell Residence Time) to calculate 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 Y_obs symbol.

How to calculate Observed Cell Yield using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Observed Cell Yield, enter Maximum Yield Coefficient (Y), Endogenous Decay Coefficient (k_d) & Mean Cell Residence Time (θ_c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Observed Cell Yield calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.85 = (0.5/1)+(5.78703703703704E-07*604800).

FAQ

What is 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 and is represented as Y_obs = (Y/1)+(k_d*θ_c) or Observed Cell Yield = (Maximum Yield Coefficient/1)+(Endogenous Decay Coefficient*Mean Cell Residence Time). Maximum Yield Coefficient refers to the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed, 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 & Mean Cell Residence Time is the average time that the sludge remains in the reactor.

How to calculate 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 is calculated using Observed Cell Yield = (Maximum Yield Coefficient/1)+(Endogenous Decay Coefficient*Mean Cell Residence Time). To calculate Observed Cell Yield, you need Maximum Yield Coefficient (Y), Endogenous Decay Coefficient (k_d) & Mean Cell Residence Time (θ_c). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Maximum Yield Coefficient, Endogenous Decay Coefficient & Mean Cell Residence Time and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
