Space Habitat Biogas Digester 2D: Arrhenius Kinetics Panel

Interactive 2D anaerobic-digester model for a space habitat: tune crew waste feed rate, digester temperature, retention time and C:N ratio and watch the same Arrhenius-driven first-order microbial kinetics as the 3D tank set biogas yield, methane content and recoverable energy, plotted live across a rate-constant curve, a C:N penalty curve and a scrolling output strip-chart.

A crewed deep-space habitat can't afford to treat organic waste as dead weight — this 2D simulator models an anaerobic digester that turns food scraps and other biomass into usable methane. Real first-order microbial kinetics, an Arrhenius temperature law and a C:N-ratio inhibition curve drive a live side-view tank where rising bubbles trace the biogas production rate, alongside two diagnostic curve panels and a scrubbable output strip-chart. Tune feed rate, temperature, retention time and feedstock C:N ratio and watch the biogas yield, methane fraction, recoverable energy and volatile-solids degradation respond exactly as the underlying kinetics dictate.
