Fluid Flow
This variable is the ratio of the fluid density to the density of water.
What is specific gravity?
This equation is commonly used to model the effect of substrate concentration on the specific growth rate.
What is the Monod equation?
This is the number of moles of solute present in 1 kg of solvent.
What is Molality?
This model described the rate constant k = exp(-Ea/RT).

This is the time necessary to process one reactor volume of fluid based on entrance conditions.
What is Space Time?
She is the current Federal Chancellor of Germany.
Who is Angela Merkel?
In a pump this is a measure of how close the fluid at a given point is to boiling and thus to cavitation.
What is the Available Net Positive Suction Head (NPSHA)?
This dimensionless number is used to determine the overall rate limiting step (i.e., reaction or diffusion) when an enzyme is immobilized on the surface of a particle.
What is the Damköhler number?
This is the second most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust.
What is iron? (Aluminum is the most abundant)
As the upward gas flowrate through a packed bed reactor increases the bed will become fluidized when the drag forces equal this.
What is the downward gravitational force (weight)?
She is the current Prime Minister of New Zealand.
