3.1 Estimate the maximum number of residences it can be served per week by a typical compactor truck that has a capacity of 28 yd. The truck can make three trips per day, works for 6 days per week. Assume a generation rate of 4.5 Ib/capita/day, each residence contains 3.5 capita, and the density of solid waste in the truck is 500 Ib/cubic yard.

i) The Abesim Stone Works employs six people. Assuming that the density of uncompacted waste is 480 kg/m³? , determine the annual volume of solid waste produced by the stone works assuming a waste generation rate of 1 kg/cap^-1.day.
(b) In the town of Abesim, it is determined that the per capita waste generation rate is 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) per person per day. The collection is conducted once per week by the municipality. If the density of MSW in a typical trash container is 150 kg/m³, how many 120 L (30 gal) containers would be needed for a family of four? (c) From (b), collection trucks have a capacity of 11.5 m³(15 yd³), which can compact the waste to a density of 420 kg/m³. How many customers can a truck handle in a single run, before departing for the transfer station?
The Kumasi landfill serves a population of 253,000. Each week 325 trucks bring a total of 2180 tonnes of MSW to the landfill. Each truck averages two loads per day. The trucks each a capacity of 4.5 tonnes, and operate 5 days per week. (a) How much MSW is generated per person? Give your answer in kg.capta-1.day. (1 tonne = 1000kg). (b) What is the average load (in metric tonnes) in each truck when they at the landfill? At what capacity are the trucks operating? (c) If the density of the waste is 265kg.m-3, what is the volume of the MSW disposed of at the landfill each week?
THIS IS NOT GRADED QUESTION. Environmental Engineering-2 PLZ, SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AT EVERY PART. • Calculate the total load at the end of the day. • Calculate the capita (per home), if the no of residences in the locality (from which the whole waste generates) is 5395

From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residentialarea consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. Theobservation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected fordisposal. The observation period was one week.Data:Number of compactor truck loads = 10Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd3Number of flatbed loads = 6Average flatbed volume = 3 yd3Number of loads from individual residents’ private cars and trucks = 20 Estimatedaverage volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft3
THIS IS NOT GRADED QUESTION, PLZ SOLVE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ENVIRONMENTALENGINEERING-2 Reg.NO: 5395 • In slide 2 and 3 increase the no of loads (Column 2) by 5. • Calculate the total load at the end of the day. • Calculate the capita (per home). The no of residences in the locality (from which the whole waste generates) is the last digit of your REGISTRATION NUMBER. For example, your registration number is19PWCIV 5395… the number of residences will be 5395
A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 hectares at an average depth of 10 m. 765 m3 of solid waste are dumped daily at the landfill 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
