Abstract
The objective of the present work is to implement the two-time-step approach to determine the growth rate of the photosynthetic microorganisms such as microalgae and cyanobacteria, in a stirred tank photobioreactor. The light intensity distribution is obtained from the CFD simulations for different concentration of the microorganisms in the photobioreactor. The average light intensity is determined in the reactor for different cell concentrations in the culture. The photosynthetic rate is determined using the average light intensity in the reactor for different initial cell concentrations. The mean growth rate of the cyanobacteria in the log phase, i.e., the nutrient abundant condition is compared with the experimental observation.
