A restaurant and dairy are participating in a community digester pilot program within the UMD Industrial Park. The following waste stocks are currently treated in the anaerobic digester: waste cooking oil, glass clippings, and cow manure. There is 200 gallons of waste cooking oil delivered per week, six 50 gallons barrels of glass clippings per week, and 500 Liters of cow manure per day. The feedstocks have the following VS concentrations and methane production potentials:________.
Waste cooking oil: 25,000 mg/L VS; 600 L CH4/g VS Grass Clippings: 15,000 mg/L VS; 300 L CH4/g VS Cow Manure: 5,000 mg/L VS; 150 L CH4/g VS
What is the daily methane production in Liters?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2727000 Liters

Explanation:

Determine the daily methane production in liters

For waste cooking oil ;

Delivered amount in liters  = 757.082 liters per week

daily = 757.082 / 7 = 108.154 L/day

waste vs concentration = 25,000 mg/L

Its volatile solid  = 25000 * 10^-3 (g/l) * 108.154 L/day

                           = 2703.864  g/day

hence methane production in liters

= 600 L/g * 2703.864 g/day

= 1622318.57 L

For cow manure

Delivered amount in liters = 500 liters / day

Vs concentration = 5000 mg/l

Hence amount of Vs = 5000 * 10^-3 * 500  = 2500 ( g/day)

methane production in liters

= 150 * 2500 = 375000 liters

For glass clippings

Delivered amount in liters per day  = 1135.62 / 7 = 162.23 L/day

amount of Vs = 15000 * 10^-3 (g/L) * 162.23 L/day = 2438.45 ( g/day )

hence the methane production in liters

= 300 * 2433.45 = 730035 L

Hence ∑ daily methane production of each waste

=  1622318.57 + 375000 + 730035 = 2727000 Liters

6. Find the heat flow in 24 hours through a refrigerator door 30.0" x 58.0" insulated with cellulose fiber 2.0" thick. The temperature inside the refrigerator is 38°F. Room temperature is 72°F. [answer in BTUs]

Answers

Answer:

The heat flow in 24 hours through the refrigerator door is approximately 1,608.57 BTU

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The duration of the heat transfer, t = 24 hours = 86,400 seconds

The area of the refrigerator door, A = 30.0" × 58.0" = 1,740 in.² = 1.122578 m²

The material of the insulator in the door = Cellulose fiber

The thickness of the insulator in the door, d = 2.0" = 0.0508 m

The temperature inside the fridge = 38° F = 276.4833 K

The temperature of the room = 78°F = 298.7056 K

The thermal conductivity of cellulose fiber = 0.040 W/(m·K)

By Fourier's law, the heat flow through a by conduction material is given by the following formula;

[tex]\dfrac{Q}{t} = \dfrac{k \cdot A \cdot (T_2 - T_1) }{d}[/tex]

[tex]Q = \dfrac{k \cdot A \cdot (T_2 - T_1) }{d} \times t[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]Q = \dfrac{0.04 \times 1.122578 \times (298.7056 - 276.4833 ) }{0.0508} \times 86,400 =1,697,131.73522[/tex]

The heat flow in 24 hours through the refrigerator door, Q = 1,697,131.73522 J = 1,608.5705140685 BTU

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a common groundwater contaminant. Based on an adult ingesting the water under residential exposure parameters, which of the following presents the greatest cancer risk:

a. to drink unchlorinated groundwater with 10 ppb of TCE
b. to switch to a surface water supply that, as a result of chlorination, has a chloroform concentration of 50 ppb

Answers

Answer:

To drink unchlorinated groundwater with 10 ppb of TCE ( A )

Explanation:

The option that presents the greatest cancer  risk for ingesting water

contaminated with Trichloroethylene under the residential exposure parameters is to drink unchlorinated groundwater with 10 ppb of TCE

This is because suitable water for drinking  has chloroform concentration that ranges from 4 to 44 ppb but drinking under groundwater with ppb value above 4 ppb will have a more severe damage to the body

Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres, through which a hot gas flows if the system is being charged, or a cold gas if it is being discharged. In a charging process, heat transfer from the hot gas increases thermal energy stored within the colder spheres; during discharge, the stored energy decreases as heat is transferred from the warmer spheres to the cooler gas. Consider a packed bed of 75-mm-diameter aluminum spheres (p = 2,700 kg/m^3; c = 950 J/kg*K; k = 240 W/m*K) and a charging process for which gas enters the storage unit at a temperature of 300 degrees C. The initial temperature of the spheres is Ti = 25 degrees C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 75 W/m^2*K.

a. How long does it take a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible thermal energy? What is the corresponding temperature at the center of the sphere?
b. Is there any advantage to using copper (p = 8,900 kg/m^3; c = 380 J/kg*K; k = 390W/m*K) instead of aluminum?
c. Consider the same packed bed operating conditions, but with Pyrex (p = 2,200 kg/m^3; c = 840 J/kg*K; k = 1.4 W/m*K) used instead of aluminum. How long does it take a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible thermal energy? What is the corresponding temperature at the center of the sphere?

Answers

Answer:

A) i) 984.32 sec

ii) 272.497° C

B) It has an advantage

C) attached below

Explanation:

Given data :

P = 2700 Kg/m^3

c = 950 J/kg*k

k = 240 W/m*K

Temp at which gas enters the storage unit  = 300° C

Ti ( initial temp of sphere ) = 25°C

convection heat transfer coefficient ( h ) = 75 W/m^2*k

A) Determine how long it takes a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible energy and the corresponding temperature at the center of sphere

First step determine the Biot Number

characteristic length( Lc ) = ro / 3 = 0.0375 / 3 = 0.0125

Biot number ( Bi ) = hLc / k = (75)*(0.0125) / 40 = 3.906*10^-3

Given that the value of the Biot number is less than 0.01 we will apply the lumped capacitance method

attached below is a detailed solution of the given problem

B) The physical properties are copper

Pcu = 8900kg/m^3)

Cp.cu = 380 J/kg.k

It has an advantage over Aluminum

C) Determine how long it takes a sphere near the inlet of the system to accumulate 90% of the maximum possible energy and the corresponding temperature at the center of sphere

Given that:

P = 2200 Kg/m^3

c = 840 J/kg*k

k = 1.4 W/m*K

The dry weather average flow rate for a river is 8.7 m3/s. During dry weather flow, the average COD concentration in the river is 32 mg/L. An industrial source continuously discharges 18,000 m3/d of wastewater contains an average 342 mg/L COD concentration into the river. What is the COD mass loading in the river upstream of the industrial source discharge

Answers

Answer:

6156 kg /day

Explanation:

Determine the COD mass loading in the river upstream of the industrial source discharge

Given data:

Flow rate of river = 8.7 m^3/s

Average COD concentration in river = 32 mg/L

Industrial source continuous discharge ( Qw )= 18,000 m^3/d

Yw = 342 mg/l

since :

1 m^3 = 1000 liters

Qw = 18 * 10^6  liters = ( 18 million per day )

Hence the COD mass loading

= Yw * Qw

= 342 * 18 liters

= 6156 kg /day
