### Problem 6-1**Given Problem:**Assume that refuse has a C/N (Carbon to Nitrogen) ratio of 24:1. If raw sludge with a C/N ratio of 16:1 is to be added to the refuse to reach a required C/N of 20:1, how much of each—refuse and sludge—is needed?**Note:** Use a wet weight basis.**Solution:**To determine the amount of refuse and sludge needed to achieve a C/N ratio of 20:1, perform the following calculations:1. **Let R and S** represent the weights of refuse and sludge respectively (since the problem specifies using a wet weight basis).2. Use the given C/N ratios to develop a system of equations. We know: - C/N of refuse (R) = 24:1 - C/N of sludge (S) = 16:1 - Desired C/N ratio when mixed = 20:13. Because we are dealing with ratios and weight, the combined carbon to nitrogen ratio of the mixed refuse and sludge should equal the target C/N ratio: \[ \frac{24R + 16S}{R + S} = 20 \]4. Multiply both sides by \(R + S\) to eliminate the denominator: \[ 24R + 16S = 20(R + S) \]5. Expand and simplify: \[ 24R + 16S = 20R + 20S \] \[ 24R - 20R = 20S - 16S \] \[ 4R = 4S \] \[ R = S \]Thus, equal weights of refuse and sludge are needed to achieve the required C/N ratio of 20:1 on a wet weight basis. So if you mix equal parts by weight of refuse and sludge, the desired C/N ratio will be achieved.This solution shows how to use equations to balance the different C/N ratios of two materials to achieve a desired mixture.
