Problem 2Approximately 30 kg of consumer products are brought into a home by its residents on a weekly basis. Two thirdsof this quantity are used as food, and about 2 kg of these products remain in the house. Every week, 75% of thewaste is collected at the curb, with the remainder sent to recycling.1. Plot the mass balance diagram of the house showing the mass of inputs, accumulations and outputs.2. Estimate how much solid waste the residents leave out to the curb each week.

The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 400 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5% diversion for composting and 500 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 425 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 1500 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 38% Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length:width:depth = 5:4:7. QUESTION 2. Estimate the theoretical amount of slow decomposable solid waste (C20H29O9N) required to produce 65 m3of methane (CH4) using the equation below. Assume a 75% conversion and the density of methane is 0.7167 kg/m3. Use the equation below C20 H 29 O9 N + 9H20 = 11CH4 + 9H20 + NH3 C = 12, N = 14, H =1, O = 16 QUESTION 3.

A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d.
