Light/dark cycle enhancement and energy consumption of tubular microalgal photobioreactors with discrete double inclined ribs

Abstract Tubular photobioreactors (PBRs) have a great potential in large-scale biomass cultivation and mixers in tubular PBRs have been intensively investigated to achieve high biomass productivity. However, mixers increase not only biomass yield, but also energy consumption. To evaluate performance...
