Popis: Biological reactors are employed in industrial applications to break down organic waste. Here we consider the stability of an open loop CSTR, with a general growth rate function, having both a bacterial and substrate feed and a death rate. Reactors with a bacterial feed are important as every reactor after the first in a cascade will have both bacterial and substrate feeds. We show that stability of a critical point is related to the sign of the slope of the growth rate function, when no bacterial feed is present, and to the sign of the slope of a function, being the product of the growth rate function and a function involving the substrate and bacterial feed concentrations, when a bacterial feed is present.,,,,,,,,,,,,
