Answer 3-20 plus the following question: If 100 commercial locations are to be serviced twice a week, and there are 5 workdays per week, how many trucks are needed?
From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residential
area consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. The
observation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected for
disposal. The observation period was one week.
Data:
Number of compactor truck loads = 10
Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd³
Number of flatbed loads = 6
Average flatbed volume = 3 yd³
Number of loads from individual residents' private cars and trucks = 20 Estimated
average volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft³
Calculate the number of stops in each trip of 1.50 h of refuse collection for the following data
v= velocity = 15 km/h – 4.17 m/s
d= distance= 750 m
n = number of containers to empty per stop=1
tc= time to empty one bin/container= 650 s

- Example 7-2 Selection of container size for use at a commercial facility A commercial facility produced the following quantities of solid waste each week for a calendar quarter of operation. Using these waste production data, determine the size of container at which it becomes more cost effective to make extra pickup trips, on call instead of using a larger-sized container.

Calculate the pipe velocity for a range of pipe diameters (starting at 6 inches and ending at 48 inches). a. Quantity of flow to be handled is 5,000 ft³/min; temperature of 100°F; pressure (or applied vacuum) of 40in.WC. The gas composition is 50% methane, 48% carbon dioxide, 2% air. The elevation at the site is 560 feet. [Assume concurrent flow (gas and water flowing in the same direction; maximum design velocity of 40 ft/sec)].arrow_forward
- A BOD analysis was begun on Monday. Fifteen ml of waste with a DO of zero was mixed with 270 mL of dilution water with a DO of 9 mg/L. The sample was then put in the incubator. Since the 5th day fell on a long weekend (Friday) and lab personnel do not work on Saturday, the final DO did not get measured until Monday, the eighth day. The final DO was measured at 2.8 mg/L. However, it was discovered that the incubator was mistakenly set at 32 ºC. Assume k is 0.15 day-1 at 20 ºC and θ= 1.05. Determine the 5-day 20 ºC BOD of the sample. Also, what is the ultimate CBOD at 32 ºC and 20 ºC; Will it vary?arrow_forwardUrgent pleasearrow_forwardFrom the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residentialarea consisting of 1200 homes.

- O Solid waste from a park is to be collected in large containers. It is estimated that the average time to drive from the garbage to the first container t, and from the last container t₂ to the garbage each day will be 15 and 20 minutes, respectively. If the average time required to drive between the containers is 360 seconds and the two-way distance to the disposal site is 50 km (speed limit 88 km/hr), determine the number of containers that can be emptied per day, based on an 8-hour work day. Note: at 88 km/hr speed, a = 0.016, b=0.011; S = 0.133, W=0.15; Pc+U= 0.4 h/trip.arrow_forwardMy dear sir/ madem please solve both questions 1 and 2... Please give me both answers.... Thank you Note: This is not an assignment question and not a graded questionarrow_forwardThe town of KnowWearSpatial, U.S.A. operates a rubbish waste disposal facility that is overloaded if its 5076 households discard waste with weights having a mean that exceeds 26.49 lb/wk. For many different weeks, it is found that the samples of 5076 households have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 26.22 lb and a standard deviation of 12.65 lb.What is the proportion of weeks in which the waste disposal facility is overloaded?P(M > 26.49) = Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.Is this an acceptable level, or should action be taken to correct a problem of an overloaded system? No, this is not an acceptable level because it is not unusual for the system to be overloaded. Yes, this is an acceptable level because it is unusual for the system to be overloaded.arrow_forward
- The City of Forty-Five (population 465,565) has requested your assistance in evaluating its solid waste collection system. Determine the mean time per collection stop plus the mean time to reach the next stop, the number of pickup locations per load, and the minimum number of trucks the city must own. The City of Forty-Five collection data are as follows: Average truck capacity = 12.5 m3; Average observed compaction ratio = 2.87 Crew size = 2; Number of pickups = 1 /wk (no rear-of-house service) Average number of cans per stop = 2.63/wk at 0.1136 m3/can Average number of residents per stop = 5 Average uncompacted density = 105.76 kg/m3 Average transport time to disposal site including delays and dumping = 1.78 h/trip Average number of trips to disposal site = 2/d; Rest breaks = 2 at 28.0 min Average maintenance downtime = 37.0 min/d; Average workday = 8.00 h Average percent of trucks out of service for major repairs = 15.0% Number of workday per week = 5arrow_forwardPlease solve my homework questionarrow_forwardHelp me answer the question.
