The optimal insolation rate of a photobiological architectural shell for microalgae cultivation

Abstract

We investigated translucent architectural shells with microalgae as an element of local photobiological sewage-treatment facilities that are integrated into an urban environment. We created a mathematical model for predicting the insolation rate and the temperature regime in microalgae media that are cultivated under constantly changing light conditions. The purpose was to optimize the temperature and insolation parameters of a photobiological architectural shell. The results of computational experiments for the obtained model are presented.
