a) Distinguish between processing of thermoplastics and thermoset polymers to make a final product (the process is not to make the polymer, but to make the final product) and relate this to the microstrucural differences of he polymers.
b)Using the concept of the relation between glass transition temperature and stucture, explain why polyethylene is ductile at room temperature whereas polystyrene is brittle at room temperature.

This problem is related to bioprocess engineering. There is a problem named 'Lysine project'
There are some conditions for this problem:
•Annual capacity of lysine production: 100,000 ton
(each bioreactor volume < 100 m3)
- Microbial host: Corynebacterium
- Lysine productivity: 2 g lysine l-1 hr-1
- Cell respiration rate qo2: 20 mmol O2 gDW-1 hr-1
- Cell concentration: 10 gDW l-1
- Dissolved oxygen concentration setting value: 2 mg O2 l-1
- Saturated dissolved oxygen concentration: 8 mg O2 l-1
I solve these tasks from above conditons(Result values should show exact number):
•Sizing of bioreactor
(Diameter, height, baffle etc.)
•Agitator type, agitator size
•Agitator operation condition: rotation speed (rpm)
•Aeration flow rate

Chemistry 252 has focused on two main topics: the nature of the equilibrium state, and the rates of processes that take place to achieve equilibrium, i.e., chemical kinetics.
Write a paragraph that compares the information content required to describe the equilibrium state with that necessary to describe the rate processes that connect reactants and products. In your answer, include a discussion of the energy levels, molecular motions, and appropriate length scales of all important species involved in specifying the equilibrium state. Include a similar discussion for any key species that play a role in the reaction rates that establish equilibrium. Indicate how the properties of these species are incorporated into a theory of reaction rates.
Topics that may be helpful in constructing your answer:
Potential energy surface
Reaction coordinate
Partition functions
Transition state
Saddle point
Your paragraph should be written in acceptable scientific prose. You should use complete sentences, and the logical flow of your arguments should be clear. There is no word limit, but preferably no longer than a page typed.
