1. A substrate solution of 0.1 kmol m³ is reacted in a stirred-batch reactor using the free enzyme. Determine the initial reaction rate and the conversion of the substrate after 10 min. 2. Immobilized-enzyme beads with a diameter of 10 mm containing the same amount of the enzyme above are used in the same stirred-batch reactor. Determine the initial reaction rate of the substrate solution of 0.1 kmol m-³. Assume that the effective diffusion coefficient of the substrate in the catalyst beads is 1.0 x 10 cm² s ¹. 3. How small should the diameter of immobilized-enzyme beads be to achieve an effectiveness factor larger than 0.9 under the same reaction conditions, as in case (2)?
