In this balance, there is **no inflow of cells** (i.e., feed does not contain biomass), so the only sources and sinks are (a) the **growth** of biomass within the reactor and (b) the **washout** of cells at the outflow. The accumulation term is therefore governed by the net of growth minus outflow.
