1.- An enzyme acts as a catalyst for a biology reaction and accelerates the A R reaction, the values ​​of the kinetic parameters are: Vmax = 5.7 mM I-1 min-1 a Km of 6X10-2 mM. It was tested with a substrate concentration (Ca0) of 3.1 M. Using flow reactors it is desired to have a substrate conversion of 95% given a feed of 3.5 l / min. Use the following formula to solve the problem -ra = Vmax. Ca / Km + Ca;

Remember that the integral is τ = Km / Vmax ln (Ca0 / Ca) + (Ca0-Ca) / Vmax

a) Calculate the volume of a piston flow reactor to obtain the desired conversion.

b) Calculate the volume of a mixed flow reactor to obtain the desired conversion

c) Calculate the volume of the reactors if Km changes according to the following table

Km (Mm) = 2.90X10-2; 290X10-1; 3.6; 40; 100 VFP VFM

d) Explain the reason for the change in the volume of the FM and FP reactors.
