For this assignment, compose an essay that addresses the following below:

 

– Describe the components of municipal solid waste that are most suitable and least suitable for thermal processing.

– Explain the components of WTE plants.

– Summarize treatment of emissions from WTE plants.

 

Compute the heat value using a calorimeter: In a particular test, a 12-gram sample of refuse-derived fuel was placed in a calorimeter. 

The temperature rise following the test was 4.34°C. If the refuse has a heat capacity of 8540 calories/°C, what is the heat value of the test sample in calories/gram?

 

Compute flow rate and temperature downstream from a WTE plant: Flow rate and temperature measurements were made along a river upstream of a WTE plant. The river temperature was recorded as 18°C, and the flow rate was 20 m³/s. Cooling water from a WTE plant flows into the river at a rate of 4 m³/s and a temperature of 78°C. 

 

     1. What is the flow rate in the river downstream of the WTE plant in m³/s? 

 

     2. What is the river temperature downstream of the WTE plant in °C?
