Static mixer proposal for tubular photobioreactors to reduce mixing energy consumption and enhance light-dark cycles

Yulanderson Salguero-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: This study simulated three types of tubular PBRs with swirl flow inducing mixers using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), estimating pumping energy and mixing degree, and calculating mixing conditions and swirl flow through swirl number. Evaluation in the frequency domain with the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) revealed a significant correlation between main frequencies and average flow velocity induced by the proposed new configuration. Energy consumption results showed that the proposed mixer consumes the least energy compared to other mixers proposed previously in the literature, with added simplicity, providing cost benefits when used in tubular PBR mixing.
