Thus, the construction of predictive models of photobioreactors requires careful formulation of radiative transfer within the reaction volume, in order to obtain the radiation field (cf step 1 in the earlier procedure). Such analysis is developed this chapter, starting in Section 2 with determination of the light scattering and absorption properties of photosynthetic-microorganism suspensions. Next, these properties are used in Section 3 for analysis of radiative transfer and in Section 4 for rigorous solution of the radiative transfer equation by the Monte Carlo method. Finally, the thermokinetic coupling between radiative transfer and photosynthesis is addressed in Section 5. It should be noted that Sections 2 and 4 mainly summarize works that have been already published elsewhere, whereas Sections 3 and 5 include extensive original work and results.
