Abstract: Transport phenomena within photobioreactor has a great impact on the growth rate and biomass production for mass cultivation of microalgae. This paper focuses on the transport phenomena within photobioreactor，including light distribution，heat transfer，mass and momentum transfer，and the research progress of mathematical models of each phenomenon. In this review，the effect of the type and scale of photobioreactor on light distribution，mass transfer and other phenomena is discussed，and the important parameters of each phenomenon，such as light absorption coefficient and volumetric mass transfer coefficient are summarized. The review would provide reference for the design，optimization and scale-up of high efficiency photobioreactor suitable for mass cultivation of microalgae.

Key words: microalgae, photobioreactor, heat transfer, mass transfer, light attenuation
