“…Models developed during years of microalgae research could be translated to suit PPB reactors (Acién Fernández et al, 1997;Béchet et al, 2013). Other modelling approaches previously applied for microalgae and not evaluated here, such as computational fluid dynamics (Ranganathan et al, 2022) or heat transfer modelling (Todisco et al, 2022) could also be adapted for PPB reactors, aiding in reactor design and process optimization.…”

“…As they represent a convenient compromise between prediction capabilities and simplicity, biochemical mechanistic models are the most commonly applied models (Darvehei et al, 2018;Shoener et al, 2019). Nevertheless, dedicated models have also been developed to consider other relevant factors, such as fluid heterogeneity in PBRs (e.g., via computational fluid dynamics (Ranganathan et al, 2022)), outdoors solar irradiance and light distribution throughout the culture (Acién Fernández et al, 1997;Béchet et al, 2013), or temperature prediction in the reactors (e.g., heat transfer modelling (Todisco et al, 2022)). Although none of these approaches has been applied for PPB systems, this technology could clearly benefit from them.…”

“…With the development of computer technology, because of the limitations of experiment conditions, CFD can be used for simulations of the PBR design, saving time and cost as well as providing a basis for laboratory experiments. 10,11 For instance, Ye et al 12,13 numerically optimized the flow field structure of the circular swirling column PBR. Seo et al 14−16 made an optimum design of bubble-column PBR for mass microalgae cultivation and developed an evaluation method for mixing efficiency.…”

“…3 However, energy consumption has been considered as the primary source of GHG emissions with around a 73.2% share, 4 showing that extensive use of fossil-based energy sources caused unfavorable impacts on the living environment because of the high level of GHG emissions. 5 Due to this reason, the development of renewable energies has been paid much attention in recent years due to their beneficial properties; 6,7 this could be observed more clearly during the post-COVID19 pandemic. 8 In the development progress of energy systems, there has been a large interest in working fluids since they play a critical role in thermal efficiency and heat transfer capacity.…”
