Modeling
This year our team created a fermenter model of our light-induced self-lysin system. Our model informed the possible positions for company to input the light source. And it also provide cost budget in fermentation process for reference. This model, presenting below, consists of the ideal figure of fermenter and calculating process of the cost budget.
For Gold Medal Criterion #3
We developed our model with two main goals:
- Offering two options to input the LED lamps.
- Calculating the cost of our biological crushing method and comparing it with traditional mechanical one.
Please see the 2017 Medals Page for more information.
I. Fermentation Tank Model
Figure 1: Two possible positions to input the LED lamp:①fixing in the side of the fermentation tank;②fixing on the stirring shaft and rotating with the stirring shaft.
Annotations:
- The choice of light source:
- Considering that the fermentation broth is a multi-solute turbid solution and the flow of fermentation liquid will have a greater impact on the light-emitting device, we choose scattered high-power LED blue light source. It has many advantages such as high purity, low spectrum, low energy consumption, which suited for the process of fermentation.
- Related LED lights parameters：
- Wavelength λ = 435nm
- power P = 3W
- luminous flux Φ = 80lm (generally between 80 ~ 100lm / W)
- price k= 55 yuan
- Fermentation tank parameters:
- diameter D = 5280mm;
- height H = 11617mm;
- oval head short axle b = 1320mm
