Chemostat dilution rate and washout

PRO

D = F/V compared with µmax.

Pro

Chemostat dilution rate and washout is a Pro tool

Pro unlocks the advanced calculators, practicals and mock tests in every sector.

See Pro membership

Formula

D = F / V; steady state µ = D; washout when D ≥ µmax

Worked example

2 L/h into 10 L → D = 0.2 per hour

Limitations

Assumes a well-mixed vessel; real µmax depends on medium and conditions.
