Calculate the volume of a fixed-dome-type biogas digester for the output of two cows. Also calculate the thermal power available from biogas. Use the following data: Retention time: 40 days, Dry matter produced 2 kg/day/cow, Biogas yield=0.22 m3/kg of dry matter, percentage of dry matter in cow dung=18%, Density of slurry=1090 kg/m3 Burner efficiency=60%, Heating value of biogas=23 MJ/m3
