The objective function and the constraint equations for minimizing the transportation cost from three collection routes to the two disposal sites.
Answer to Problem 3.15P
The objective function for minimizing the transpiration cost is
The
The
The last constraint equation is
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression to obtain the objective function for minimizing the transpiration cost.
Here, the transportation cost is
Substitute
Write the expression for the
Further solve the above equation.
Here, the above equation signifies that the waste hauled out from each section is less than or equal to the capacity of each of the disposal site.
Write the expression for the
Further solve the above equation.
Here, the above equation signifies that the waste hauled out from each section is equal to the amount generated.
Write the expression for the last constraint equation for minimizing the transportation cost.
Here, above equation signifies that the waste hauled out from each section must be positive.
Conclusion:
Thus, the objective function for minimizing the transpiration cost is
The
The
The last constraint equation is

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_forward

- Assume it cost an average of $0.03/ton.min to haul waste from collection to transfer station and then from the transfer station to landfill using a transfer vehicle and the operation cost of the transfer station is $2/ton. The cost of hauling waste directly from the collection point to landfill is $0.1/ton.min. The speed limit of any type of vehicle carrying waste between the collection point, the transfer station, and the landfill is 40 miles/hr.
