It can be seen from the equation that the grain growth rate exponentially increases with temperature. 

For systems following invariant growth the crystal population density in each size range decays exponentially with the inverse of the product of growth rate and residence time. For a continuous distribution, the population densities of the classified fines and the product crystals must be the same at size Accordingly, the population density for a crystallizer operating with classified-fines removal is given by... 

The last approach is to measure the deviation in the growth-rate curve from random exponential growth [Adetayo Ennis, AfChE J., (1997)]. The deviation from random growth indicates a value of t/ , or the critical granule diameter at which noninertial growth ends. This value is related to D. (See the Modeling and Simulation subsection for further discussion.)... 

Growth rate is very sensitive to liquid content for narrow initial-size distributions, with increases in liquid content for fine powders leading to an approximate exponential increase in granule size. For low-viscosity hquids, granulation occurs when very Hose to the saturation of the granule. This leads to the following equation to estimate moisture requirements [Capes, Pai ticle Size Enlargement, Elsevier (1980)] ... 

During the stationary phase, the growth rate is zero as a result of the depletion of nutrients and essential metabolites. Several important fermentation produets (ineluding most antibioties) are produeed in the stationary phase. The stationary phase is followed by a phase where eells die or sporulate. During the death phase, there is a deerease in live eell eoneentration, whieh results from the toxie byproduets eoupled with the depletion of the nutrient. The number of viable eells usually follows an exponential deeay eurve during this period. 

This is the Wilson-Frenkel rate. With that rate an individual kink moves along a step by adsorbing more atoms from the vapour phase than desorbing. The growth rate of the step is then simply obtained as a multiple of Zd vF and the kink density. For small A/i the exponential function can be hnearized so that the step on a crystal surface follows a linear growth law... 

The logistic equation leads to a lag phase, an exponential initial growth rate and a stationary population of concentration (xm). In a population, it is often the case that the birth rate decreases as the population itself increases. The reasons may vary from increased scientific or cultural sophistication to a limited food supply. 

Figure 3.7 shows the growth of R. rubrum in a batch fermentation process using a gaseous carbon source (CO). The data shown follow the logistic model as fitted by (3.14.2.11) with the solid lines, which also represent an unstructured rate model without any lag phase. The software Sigma Plot was used to fit model (3.14.2.11) to the experimental data. An increase in concentration of acetate in the prepared culture media did not improve the cell dry weight at values of 2.5 and 3 gT-1 acetate, as shown in Figure 3.7. However, the exponential growth rates were clearly observed with acetate concentrations of 0.5-2 g-F1 hi the culture media.

Once there is an appreciable amount of cells and they are growing very rapidly, the cell number exponentially increases. The optical cell density of a culture can then be easily detected that phase is known as the exponential growth phase. The rate of cell synthesis sharply increases the linear increase is shown in the semi-log graph with a constant slope representing a constant rate of cell population. At this stage carbon sources are utilised and products are formed. Finally, rapid utilisation of substrate and accumulation of products may lead to stationary phase where the cell density remains constant. In this phase, cell may start to die as the cell growth rate balances the death rate. It is well known that the biocatalytic activities of the cell may gradually decrease as they age, and finally autolysis may take place. The dead cells and cell metabolites in the fermentation broth may create... 

The effect of substrate concentration on specific growth rate (/i) in a batch culture is related to the time and p,max the relation is known as the Monod rate equation. The cell density (pcell) increases linearly in the exponential phase. When substrate (S) is depleted, the specific growth rate (/a) decreases. The Monod equation is described in the following equation ... 

It has been suggested that fungi grow in filamentous form at an exponential rate with a constant specific growth rate (ji) until some substrate becomes growth limiting, according to the Monod equation 4 6... 

Thus, the exponential growth constant of the pressure oscillation is directly related to the acoustic admittance of the propellant. Hence, the acoustic admittance can be evaluated directly from the growth rate of the pressure amplitude. Ryan (R5) has also desired this espression on the basis of acoustic-energy considerations. 

A simple way to model the lag phase is to suppose that the maximum growth rate fimax evolves to its final value by a first-order rate process jUmax = Moo[l — exp(—af)]. Repeat Example 12.7 using a=lh. Compare your results for X, S, and p with those of Example 12.7. Make the comparison at the end of the exponential phase. 

Figure 6. An example of the use of to assess the growth rate of Mn nodules taken from Krishnaswami et al. (1982). Both panels show the same °Thxs data from nodule RN Vitiaz from the Southern Indian Oeean. Errors on the activities are within symbol size. The lower panel shows the hxs activity, while the upper panel shows the same data normalized to the Th activity. Note that both profiles show a general exponential decrease which can be used to assess the growth rate using the relationship that °Thxs ° = 230j jj imtiai g-X23ot showu ou both panels are for a steady growth rate of 1.15 mmMyr.

The medium composition used in the fed-batch process was optimized, resulting in cell densities near 100 g l-1. By using an exponential feed rate resulting in a growth rate of 0.05 h-1, a maximum biomass concentration of 112 g 1 1 was attained, with a biomass productivity of 1.8 g 1 1 h. The poly(3HAMCL) productivity however was low, 0.34 g 1 1 h, caused by a steady decrease of the poly(3HAMCL) content during the last part of the fermentation [51]. When this optimized medium composition was used in the continuous culture system described above, a maximum biomass concentration of 18 g 1 1 was reached. The PHA content however remained low at approximately 10% [51]. It is still unclear what causes these low PHA contents. 

According to Hoffman s crystallization theory, a drop in the heat of fusion corresponds to an exponential decrease in nucleation and crystal growth rates [63]. Implicitly, the rate of crystallization is severely retarded by the presence of 3HV comonomer [64, 69, 72]. These low crystallization rates can hamper the melt processing of these copolymers since they necessitate longer processing cycle times.
