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 کاملThe Effects of Geometry and Operational Conditions on Gas Holdup, Liquid Circulation and Mass Transfer in an Airlift Reactor
In airlift reactors transport phenomena are achieved by pneumatic agitation and circulation occurs in a defined cyclic pattern through a loop. In the present work, the effect of geometrical relations on gas holdup and liquid velocity, and consequently on the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient, was studied in a 6liter airlift bioreactor with AD/AR = 0.63; AD, downcomer cross-sectional area, an...
متن کاملInfluence of biomass production and detachment forces on biofilm structures in a biofilm airlift suspension reactor
The influence of process conditions (substrate loading rate and detachment force) on the structure of biofilms grown on basalt particles in a Biofilm Airlift Suspension (BAS) reactor was studied. The structure of the biofilms (density, surface shape, and thickness) and microbial characteristics (biomass yield) were investigated at substrate loading rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 kg COD/m3. day with...
متن کاملNumerical Study of a Pipe Extension Effect in Draft Tube on Hydraulic Turbine Performance
Draft tube of Francis type hydraulic turbine usually consists of: cone, elbow and diffuser. On the contrary, in some power stations an extra pipe should be added to the draft tube at the bottom of cone because of installation limitation. In this paper, this special case has been numerically studied. To this end CFD analysis was applied to simulate all parts of hydraulic turbine. A homogeneous m...
متن کاملInfluence of surface tension on the stability of edge dislocations in smectic A liquid crystals
The general solution describing an edge dislocation inside a smectic A film is presented. Its elastic interaction energy with the limiting surfaces is calculated by taking into account ngorously the surface tension y This formula is used to discuss the dislocation stability with respect to a slip motion towards the surface If surface tension prevails over smectic A elasticity, charactenzed by e...
