[Providing the Optimal Insolation of a Photobiological Architectural Shell for Microalgae Cultivation]
Biofizika
|May 20, 2016
Abstract:
Translucent architectural shells with microalgae are considered as an element of local photobiological treatment facilities integrated in the urban environment. A mathematical microalgae growth model for the prediction of insolation and temperature behaviour in the medium during microalgae cultivation under dynamically fluctuating natural lighting is presented. The task of optimizing the parameters of photobiological architectural shell with respect to temperature and insolation is set. The results of numerical experiments for the model problem are shown.

Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...

The microbial conversion of organic matter into biofuels holds potential as a renewable energy source. Among biofuel sources, microalgae are recognized as a highly efficient and adaptable feedstock for biodiesel production, owing to their rapid biomass accumulation, elevated lipid productivity, and capacity to proliferate in diverse aquatic systems, including freshwater, marine, and wastewater habitats. Unlike terrestrial crops, microalgae do not compete for land and can achieve significantly...
