Inner geometry optimization of flat-panel photobioreactor
Hlaváč, Ivan ; Babička Fialová, Dominika (referee) ; Rebej, Miroslav (advisor)
This master thesis focus on optimatization of flat-panel photobioreactor. The optimatization was performed using CFD models and Design of experiement. The CFD model used for the optimatizaion was before performing the experiment validated with real experiment data. Hydrodynamic parameters affecting microalgae yield were monitored during CFD calculations. They were: gas holdup, gas velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, dead zone ratio. interfacial area and shear stress.The photobioreactor with a stirrer and with vertical baffles, which were selected based on research, were compared. The higher values of hydrodynamic parameters were reached with a stirrer. Baffels were evaluated as more suitable for microalgae, which are more sensitive to shear stress.
