Microcarrier beads 120 μm in diameter are used to culture recombinant CHO cells for production of growth hormone. It is proposed to use a 6-cm turbine impeller to mix the culture in a 3.5-1itre stirred tank. Air and carbon dioxide are supplied by flow through the reactor headspace. The microcarrier suspension has a density of approximately 1010 kg m^-3 and a viscosity of 1.3 x 10^-3 Pa s. Estimate the kinematic viscosity.(a) 1.30 × 10^-6 m^2s^-1(b) 1.29 × 10^-6 m^2s^-1(c) 1.50 × 10^-6 m^2s^-1(d) 1.49 × 10^-6 m^2s^-1I had been asked this question in an interview for internship.I want to ask this question from Role of Shear in Stirred Fermenters topic in chapter Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering |
