Predictive modeling of biomass production by Chlorella vulgaris in a draft-tube airlift photobioreactor
The objective of this study was to investigate the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris for CO2 biofixation and biomass production. Six mathematical growth models (Logistic, Gompertz, modified Gompertz, Baranyi, Morgan and Richards) were used to evaluate the biomass productivity in continuous processes and to predict the following parameters of cell growth: lag phase duration (λ), maximum specific...
متن کاملOne - Dimensional Analysis of Full Load Draft Tube Surge
One-dimensional stability analysis of a hydraulic system composed of a penstock, a runner, and a draft tube was carried out to determine the cause of the full load draft tube surge. It is assumed that the cavity volume at the runner exit is a function of the pressure at the vortex core evaluated from the instantaneous local pressure at the runner exit and an additional pressure decrease due to ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Conformations of Concentric-tube Continuum Robots
Robots consisting of several concentric, preshaped, elastic tubes can work dexterously in narrow, constrained, and/or winding spaces, as are commonly found in minimally invasive surgery. Previous models of these "active cannulas" assume piecewise constant precurvature of component tubes and neglect torsion in curved sections of the device. In this paper we develop a new coordinate-free energy f...
متن کاملTuning of the Extended Concentric Tube Resonators
It has been shown recently that the acoustic performance of the extended tube expansion chambers can be improved substantially by making the extended inlet and outlet equal to half and quarter chamber lengths, duly incorporating the end corrections due to the evanescent higher order modes that would be generated at the discontinuities. Such chambers, however, suffer from the disadvantages of hi...
متن کاملConcentric Tube Robots for Minimally Invasive Surgery
INTRODUCTION The human body was not designed to facilitate surgical repair. Thus, in order to minimize collateral damage to healthy tissue, many interventions require following complex curved paths through tissue and body lumens to reach surgical targets. The smallest existing instrument technologies utilizing this approach are comprised of catheters and endoscopes for passing through body lume...
