A dynamic temperature model of mine water‐fed raceways used for microalgae biofuel production

摘要: The mining industry is an extremely high consumer of energy, much which sourced from fossil fuels. also generates outflows “waste” energy in discharged gas, air, and water streams. Both the dependence on, environmental impacts of, fuels could be reduced by on-site recovery schemes that make use both waste large tracts otherwise marginal or nonproductive land mines sites create occupy. One such possibility lies potential for warm mine dewatering raceways to support microalgae growth biodiesel production. Mines are, however, often located remote regions can experience a significant range seasonal ambient temperatures. In this article, model used estimate dynamic impact wide annual climatic conditions on temperature specific volume flowing along raceway reported. © 2010 American Institute Chemical Engineers Environ Prog,
