*Cell Growth (CSTR)

155 days ago by Brandon_Curtis

## This file simulates cell growth in a CSTR on a single limiting substrate. ## Specific growth rate is represented as a function of substrate concentration. ## Starting with initial conditions, it displays the transient system dynamics. ## Variables var('mu Y K_m mu_max X_in S_in V_in V_out X_0 S_0') (X,S,t) = var('X,S,t') ## Adjustable Parameters mu_max = 0.05 Y = 0.5 K_m = 2 X_in = 0 S_in = 10 V_in = 0.01 V_out = 0.01 X_0 = 0.1 S_0 = 10 ## Calculation Parameters end_points = 250 stepsize = 1 steps = end_points/stepsize ics = [0,X_0,S_0] ## Equations mu = (mu_max*S)/(K_m+S) cells = (diff(X,t) == mu*X+X_in*V_in-X*V_out) substrate = (diff(S,t) == -(1/Y)*mu*X+S_in*V_in-S*V_out) ## Take the right-hand side of each equation and the calc parameters ## Find the solution to the initial-value problem des = [cells.rhs(), substrate.rhs()] ##takes the right-hand side of each equation sol = desolve_system_rk4(des, [X,S], ics, ivar=t, end_points=end_points,step=stepsize) 
       
## Process the output into a form that can be graphed sols_1=[] sols_2=[] for i in range(steps): sols_1.append([sol[i][0],sol[i][1]]) sols_2.append([sol[i][0],sol[i][2]]) ## Graph the results ## Blue line is [substrate]; green line is [cells] a = plot([]) a += list_plot(sols_1, color='green') a += list_plot(sols_2, color='blue') show(a)
