Photobioreactors (PBR) for reliable and cost effective production of algae are affected by radiation input,growth medium temperature, and transport of nutrients. The need to dissipate heat results in numerous heavyand bulky heat sinks mounted in various locations around the reactor. Combined, the set of LED arrays andthermal management structures have a significant impact on PBR cost and weight. The goal of this project is toimprove the cost effectiveness of Industrial Plankton PBRs by optimizing the thermal and fluid dynamicaspects of the design.

光生物反应器（PBR）的可靠和成本效益的生产藻类的影响，辐射输入，生长介质温度，和运输的营养物质。散热的需要导致许多笨重的散热器安装在反应堆周围的不同位置。LED阵列和热管理结构的组合对PBR成本和重量具有显著影响。本项目的目标是通过优化设计的热和流体动力学方面来提高工业浮游生物PBRs的成本效益。
