The last form is particularly useful when calculating photobioreactor productivity as wiU be discussed later. 

For the sake of simplicity an alternative model will be introduced which wiU prove to be very usefiil when analyzing photobioreactor productivity. This one is based on Blackman kinetics (Blackman, 1905), and it follows the dashed lines in Fig. 12. According to this model the rate of photosynthesis increases Unearly with increasing photon flux density with the proportionality constant being a. When a saturating photon flux density of Iph,s is reached, photosynthesis reaches its maximal level and remains constant...

In the simplified model approach to predict photobioreactor productivity adopted in this chapter it was assumed that microalgae immediately respond...
