med.bioreactor-Monod-kinetics Calculator
Models Monod kinetics in a continuous stirred-tank bioreactor, calculating specific growth rate, dilution rate, and substrate utilisation at steady state. The Monod equation (μ = μmax × S / (Ks + S)) is the fundamental microbial growth model used in fermentation process design.
Inputs
Mu Max Per Hr
Annual percentage increase. Enter as a percentage. Compound growth is exponential — small differences in rate become enormous over long periods.
Ks G L
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
S Substrate G L
Amount of solute per unit volume. Higher concentration = more solute dissolved.
D Dilution Per Hr
Amount per unit of time or per unit quantity. Check the denominator before interpreting.
Y Yield
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
specific growth rate μ (1/hr)
The absolute increase in value over the period. Growth = final value minus initial value.
steady-state substrate S* (g/L)
The value at the specified point or condition.
steady-state biomass X* (g/L)
The computed mass of the object or substance.
μ = μmax·S/(Ks+S)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
washout dilution rate D_crit
The value at the specified point or condition.
productivity (g/L/hr)
The result of multiplying all input values together.
