中文摘要Open raceway ponds are widely adopted in microalgae cultivation. Paddle wheels consume the most part of power during the process of cultivation in open raceway ponds. The configuration of blades directly determines power consumption for paddle wheels. In this work, power consumption of four blades configurations was determined in a bench-scale open raceway pond of 2.2 m(2). The effect of blades configuration, the influence of filling levels from 5 to 15 cm and influence of rotational speeds from 7 to 15 r min(-1) on shaft power consumption (P (S)), fluid velocity (U (c)) and paddle wheel efficiency (eta) was investigated. Results demonstrated that flat blades were the most efficient configuration. Higher culture depth led to larger U (c), more P (s) and larger eta, especially when blades were not totally immerged in water. Under the same filling level and rotational speed, the value of P (S) decreases in the order: zigzagged, flat, forward-curved and back-curved, respectively. The zigzagged blades led to a larger U (c) at the culture depth of 5 cm, while flat and forward-curved blades drove a larger U (c) when culture depth was higher than 5 cm. The maximum value of eta was 0.50 with flat blades at 11 r min(-1) and 15 cm of culture depth. Empirical correlations of non-dimensional numbers related to operation parameters and blades geometry for four paddle wheel blades were also proposed.
