Optimization of novel photobioreactor design using computational fluid dynamics

Soman, Abhinav; Shastri, Yogendra - In: Applied Energy 140 (2015) C, pp. 246-255

The high cost of microalgae cultivation is one of the major hurdles in large scale production of microalgal biofuels. Cultivation in closed photobioreactors (PBR) to achieve high culture concentrations is a potential solution. However, existing PBR designs do not have the desired efficiencies,...
