This work is a first step towards a generic and highly flexible dynamical heat transfer model for unravelling the complex nonlinear dynamics of microalgae growing in different cultivation systems and under different climates. Physical models for predicting reactor temperature are crucial to simulate a wide range of scenarios and therefore for...

Microalgae are unicellular autotrophic organisms that have the potential to be used for various biotechnological applications like biofuel or wastewater treatment in large scale production systems. The dynamics of microalgae growth in outdoor systems are strongly dependent on light and temperature and thus on meteorology. In fact, they are the...

Accurate temperature prediction plays a crucial role in optimizing microalgae growth conditions. For that, we recently developed a generic adaptive temperature prediction model, called the Simplified Auto Tuning Heat Exchange (SATHE) model, which was initially tailored to open raceway ponds. In this study, we adapt and validate the SATHE model...
