In the biopharmaceutical industry, chemical engineers are responsible for the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mabs), which are produced in bioreactors. the purification process for the mabs happens in stages. the mabs are at a concentration of 2.5 g/l in the bioreactor, and are then moved to the stage 1 purification step. 90% of the entering antibodies leave the stage 1 purification step, and move on to the stage 2 purification. only 75% of the antibodies entering stage 2 survive to the product stage. given the above information, answer the following. show how you arrived at all of your answers by writing and solving appropriate balances. a) is this a batch or continuous process? transient or steady state? b) draw and label a flowchart of this process. c) what does the volume of the bioreactor need to be to for a final mabs yield of 5 kilograms? d) given the volume you just calculated, what is the initial weight of the mabs in the bioreactor? e) if the concentration in stage 1 is 15 g/l and in stage 2 is 50 g/l, how do the volumes of stage 1 and stage 2 compare to each other, and to the original bioreactor? explain your reasoning.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
