Good morning/afternoon

I have a question about the relation between the CSTR reactor and biomass Yield.

This is the question we have

I am confused in the last part "suggesting the reactor volume".
one of my colleagues said we should choose the bigger size because there is no gases go out, thus the volume inside the reactor will increase.

But what I am thinking about that we should choose the smaller reactor, because the Yield of product decreases when the reactor volume increases, thus for better productivity we should choose the smaller one.

could you please help me on that?

thanks in advance
