A photobioreactor model in nitrogen limited conditions
Résumé
We propose a new photobioreactor model that deals both with nitrogen limitation and light attenuation. On the basis of the Droop model we include the light effect, and then we relate the nitrogen status to the chlorophyll content, for a given photoadaptation light. In a second step, we compute the light distribution thanks to a Beer-Lambert model. It results in a model where biology (growth in nitrogen limited conditions) and physics (radiative transfer) are deeply coupled. The model is validated with experimental data of Isochrysis galbana.
