STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Yield Coefficient = (Volatile Solids Produced*(1-Mean Cell Residence Time*Endogenous Coefficient))/(BOD In-BOD Out)
Y = (P_x*(1-θ_c*k_d))/(BOD_in-BOD_out)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Yield Coefficient - Yield Coefficient is referred as the ratio of biomass (microbial cells) produced to the amount of substrate (organic material) consumed during the digestion process.
Volatile Solids Produced - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Volatile Solids Produced refers to the organic fraction of the total solids present in the sludge.
Mean Cell Residence Time - (Measured in Second) - Mean Cell Residence Time refers to a measure of the extent to which organic matter in sludge has been decomposed or stabilized through treatment processes.
Endogenous Coefficient - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Endogenous Coefficient is referred as modeling the behavior of microorganisms, particularly in wastewater treatment processes.
BOD In - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - BOD In in anaerobic digester design lies in its role as an indicator of the organic load present in the feedstock. High BOD levels suggest a greater concentration of organic matter.
BOD Out - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - BOD Out referred as the amount of dissolved oxygen exits anaerobic digester.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volatile Solids Produced: 100 Kilogram per Day --> 0.00115740740740741 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Mean Cell Residence Time: 6.96 Day --> 601344 Second (Check conversion here)
Endogenous Coefficient: 0.05 1 Per Day --> 5.78703703703704E-07 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
BOD In: 164 Kilogram per Day --> 0.00189814814814815 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
BOD Out: 4.9 Kilogram per Day --> 5.6712962962963E-05 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Y = (P_x*(1-θ_c*k_d))/(BOD_in-BOD_out) --> (0.00115740740740741*(1-601344*5.78703703703704E-07))/(0.00189814814814815-5.6712962962963E-05)

Evaluating ... ...

Y = 0.409805153991201

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.409805153991201 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.409805153991201 ≈ 0.409805 <-- Yield Coefficient
