Hello every one

I am trying to use the Corne't model to predict the light intensity in chlorella vulgaris microalgae culture. As far as I have found in literature, there is not enough information about the Corne't coefficients, or I cannot find it. There is an article titled "Attenuation of monochromatice and polychromatic lights in chlorella vulgaris suspensions", but my problem is that the coefficients reported in this article seem too large which underpredicts the light intensity based on what I have from my C.vulgaris data sheets. However, I know an article titled "A Model for Light Distribution and Average Solar Irradiance Inside Outdoor Tubular Photobioreactors or the Microalgal Mass Culture", which gives the Cornet's coefficients for Phaeodactylum tricornutum in orders of 1/100th of what the first article has reported. I assume the range of the coefficients for different strains shouldn't be that different, so one of these articles may be right about the numbers (or I haven't gotten the right idea why one of them is giving too large numbers). Please let me know if there is any more resources about this.

Thanks
