chemostat Model

Description

simecol example: Model of continuos culture of microorganisms (chemostat).

Usage

data(chemostat)

Format

An S4 object according to the odeModel specification. The object contains the following slots:

main
The differential equations for substrate (S) and cells (X).
parms
A vector with the named parameters of the model:
vm
Maximum growth rate of the cells.
km
Half saturation constant.
Y
Yield coefficient (conversion factor of substrate into cells).
D
Dilution rate.
S0
Substrate concentration in the inflow.
times
Simulation time and integration interval.
init
Vector with start values for substrate (S) and cells (X).
To see all details, please have a look into the implementation.
