Experimental Study and Numerical Modeling of CO2 Bio-Fixation in a Continues Photobioreactor [PDF]
Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, 2020 A dynamic numerical model was developed to predict the biomass concentration, pH, and carbon dioxide fixation rate in the continuous culture of cyanobacteria in a photobioreactor. The model is based on the growth rate equation of microalgae combined with
