"Provided our consumption does not exceed its natural level of production, the burning of biomass should generate no more heat and create no more carbon dioxide than would have been formed in any case by natural processes." What do you think about this in terms of long-term wood burning to heat homes in rural areas? Specifically under what circumstances would you consider this acceptable or unacceptable?

14.7 Batch and continuous biomass production Pseudomonas methylotrophus is used to produce single cell protein from methanol in a 1000-m3 pressure-cycle airlift fermenter. The biomass yield from substrate is 0.41 g/g, KS is 0.7 mg/l, and the maximum specific growth rate is 0.44 1/h. The medium contains 4% (w/v) methanol. A substrate conversion of 98% is desirable. The reactor may be operated in either batch or continuous mode. If operated in batch, an inoculum of 0.01% (w/v) is used and...

Concerns about climate change and CO2 reduction have initiated the commercial production of blends of biodiesel (e.g., from renewable sources) and petrodiesel (from fossil fuel). Random samples of 48 blended fuels are tested in a lab to ascertain the bio/total carbon ratio. (a) If the true mean is .9200 with a standard deviation of 0.0050, within what interval will 99 percent of the sample means fall? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) The interval is from ? to...
