A model is developed for prediction of axial concentration profiles of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in tubular photobioreactors used for culturing microalgae. Experimental data are used to verify the model for continuous outdoor culture of Porphyridium cruentum grown in a 200-L reactor with 1

β¦ Synopsis
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2 ] ) and gradients (ACO~) as well as profiles of wind speed and air temperature were measured from 0.5 to 16 m above ground at Mead, Nebraska. Initial observations indicate that under stable stratified conditions [CO 2 ] and ACO2 are, to a first approximation, closely related to the concurrent Richardson number. Under near neutral conditions the vertical profiles of [CO 2 ] are approximately logarithmic. For stable conditions, the plots of [CO 2 ] against logarithm of height are curvilinear. The profile departure from linearity increases with increasing stability.
