2.5-L bench scale bioreactor is used for the production of recombinant P64K protein from Neisseria meningitides. The dimensions for the bioreactor are Dt 12.9 cm, ratio Di/Dt = 1/3 and N = 700 rpm. With the scale up factor of 2.24, determine the impeller tip speed (m/s) for the pilot scale bioreactor based on constant impeller tip speed and constant power consumption per volume. Predict which scale up method might give a higher concentration of P64K, if the demand of dissolved oxygen plays an important role.

What is the maximum power generated by the wind farm with wind speed of 4 m/s? Typical wind turbines have rotor diameters from 40 m to 90 m (Assume increment of 5 m for this problem)-40 m is 80% efficient and efficiency decreases by 5% for every 5 m increase in diameter (i.e. 45 m=75%, 50=70...)-The ridge is 10 km long and wind turbines will be spaced in a single row. •Power in the wind per unit area of circular area is 1/2ρv3W/m2 (v is the wind speed, ρ is 1.3 kg/m3 for air) •Wind turbines cannot be spaced closer than 5 times its diameter without loosing power also there are no partial turbines.

Q2: A wind farm is proposed to be built outside of Baghdad Airport, The airport wind data obtained at a zref = 10 m., gave a Weibull wind frequency distribution fit with coemciens of k = 1.54 andc = 3.78 m/s. The wind turbines in the proposed wind farm have a rated power of Prated = 1.5 MW, a rotor radius of R = 35 m, and a hub height of H = 65 m. The rated wind speed for the wind turbines is Vrated = 8 m/s and the cut-out wind speed is Veutout = 20 m/s. Find the followings: (a) Based on the Weibull coefficients at zref= 10 m., determine the new Weibull coefficients for the wind speed at the wind turbine hub height. Assume n =0.23.
