Homework #9
Solution:
204.91 kg/d
waste = ----------------- = 1.708 m3/d
120 kg/m3
Since the maximum storage period is 3 days (Friday, Monday & Tuesday), we have
One solution to this would be: 1 container of 2.3 m3 and 1 container of 3.0 m3
Solution:
= 1.723 kg/capita/d
2180 ton/wk
average load = ------------------------------------------------ = 0.67 ton/load
(2 load/truck/d)(5 d)(325 trucks/wk)
0.67 ton
capacity = -------------(100%) = 14.9%
4.5 ton
Solution:
13000 Mg/y
waste = ------------------------ = 53278.7 m3/y
(2)0.122 Mg/m3
sw + c
E = ---------------
sw
3(0.25) + (0.15)
E = ---------------------- = 1.2
3(0.25)
PEC (13000)(1.2)
LF = ---------- = ------------------ = 63,934 m3 or 64,000 m3
Dc (2)(0.122)
50 Mg/d
= ----------------------------- = 204.9 m3/d
(2)(0.122 Mg/m3)
204.9 m3/d
A = ------------------------ = 273.2 m2/d
(3)(0.25 m)
Solution:
a. Heat produced
c. Energy available
Heat produced heat required = (5.95 x 109 kJ/y) (5.5 x 1012 kJ/y)
Therefore, the heat produced would not be enough to heat the houses based on the
average heating requirement.
5. Waste Classification:
Using the data in the attached tables, calculate: (A) the specific weight of a typical
composite US residential MSW; (B) the specific weight of the Davis, CA residential
MSW (You can assume that the specific weight of misc. organics is 220 pounds per
cubic yard), and (C) the moisture content of a typical composite US residential MSW.
