  1. Oxygen transfer was measured in a stirred tank bioreactor using dynamic method. The dissolved oxygen tension was found to be 80% air saturation under steady state conditions. The measured oxygen tensions at 7s and 17s were 55% and 68% air saturation, respectively. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient KLa  is _____s–1
    1. 7.339
    2. 0.07339
    3. 0.339
    4. 7339
Correct Option: B

KLa = ln
80 - 55
= 0.07339
80 - 68
17 - 7
