Micro algae growth rate isdirectly affected by the sun light intensity and temperature. However, there is noavailable data in the literature concerning the environment temperature control tooptimize the cultivate process of the algae in outdoor conditions. In the present studythe outdoor continuous feedstock photo bioreactor has been designed and built tocontrol the solar thermal radiation and its effect on the cultivation media temperature.Thos have been achieved using a new Air Bubble Generation (ABG) system. Theused technique in the current study can enhance the temperature stability within theoptimum range despite of the ambient conditions temperature. The results show thatby increasing the air bubble generation rate the continuous photo bioreactortemperature distribution was enhanced along the reactor dimension. The optimumcondition of the media PH is found to be 7.5, Na2CO3 concentration of 5 g, the mediawidth of 25 Cm, media height of 25 Cm and AWR (Air to Water Ratio by volume) of150.}, keywords = {Solar Intensity,Microalgae Cultivation Control,Biodiesel production,Biofuels,algae,Photo bioreactor}, url = {https://amme.journals.ekb.eg/article_34985.html}, eprint = {https://amme.journals.ekb.eg/article_34985_c64d597240ebc94ac9b6a75cbf312bd5.pdf} }
