Table 2 Nomenclature for parameters in equations 2 and 3
Yg | Glucose yield (of theoretical maximum) | ftso | Initial mass fraction of total solids (soluble + insoluble) in slurry |
|---|---|---|---|
Cg | Glucose concentration (g/L) | ρh0 | Initial density of liquid (g/L) |
Cg0 | Initial glucose concentration (g/L) | Vh | Volume of hydrolysate liquid (L) |
Cgos0 | Initial concentrations of glucose oligomers (g/L) | Vh0 | Initial volume of hydrolysate liquid (L) |
Xg0 | Initial mass fraction of glucan in insoluble solids | ϕg | Molecular ration of glucose to glucan; ϕg = 180/162 = 1.11 |
Xis0 | Initial mass fraction of insoluble solids in total solids | ϕgos | Ratio of glucose molecular weight to average monomer weight of glucose oligomers; ϕgos = 180/166.5 = 1.08 (assuming glucose oligomers have an average DP of 4) |
