Biological Processes

Biological solid waste includes bacterial and contaminated waste produced by living individuals. Its treatment is essential to prevent the spread of any air-borne or water-borne diseases or diseases transmitted from one organism to another in a food chain. There are many benefits of the biological solid waste treatment and some of them are: the minimized quantity of waste substance, waste control, eradicating any disease-causing pathogens, generation of biogas, composting, anaerobic digestion, bio drying, mechanical biological treatment, microbial fuel cell, phytoremediation, and biofiltration. The final products of the biological solid waste treatment may be recycled to obtain organic fertilizers or disposed of in SWDS (Solid Waste Disposal Site) after proper treatment.

As a plant maintenance engineer, you are required to purchase a 3,000 L tank of liquid butane to heat a maintenance building during the winter. You are concerned about the tank rupture and the possibility of a vapour cloud explosion of all the butane. How far (in metres) must the tank be from the maintenance building to ensure that it will receive only partial demolition in the event of an explosion? The specific gravity of liquid butane is 0.6, and the energy of explosion for butane is 510 kcal/gm-mol. Assume the explosion efficiency is 10 % in this case.
The Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) of an air-conditioning unit is defined asthe ratio of the heat removed in Btu/hr divided by the energy used in watts. Awindow air conditioner is rated at 5,170 Btu. It uses 470 watts of power. Whatis this unit’s EER?
Consider a new 38% efficient 600-MW power plant burning 9,000 Btu/lb coal containing 1% sulfur. If a 70% efficient scrubber is used, what would be the emission rate of sulfur (lb/hr)?
A 600 MW coal-fired power plant has an overall thermal efficiency of 38%. It is burning coal that has a heating value of 12,000 Btu/lb, an ash content of 5%, a sulfur content of 3,0%, and a CO2 emission factor of 220 IWmillion Bin. Calculate the heat emitted to the environment (Btu/sec), the coal feed rate (tons/day), the degree (%) of sulfur dioxide control needed to meet an emission standard of 0,15 lh SO2/inillion Bin of heat input, and the CO2 emission rate (metric tons/day).
Consider a 400-MW, 32 percent efficient coal-fired power plant that uses cooling water withdrawn from a nearby river (with an upstream flow of 10-m3/s and temperature 20 °C) to take care of waste heat. The heat content of the coal is 8,000 Btu/lb, the carbon content is 60% by mass, and the sulfur content is 2% by mass. How much electricity (in kWh/yr) would the plant produce each year? How many pounds per hour of coal would need to be burned at the plant? Estimate the annual carbon emissions from the plant (in metric tons C/year). If the cooling water is only allowed to rise in temperature by 10 °C, what flow rate (in m3/s) from the stream would be required? What would be the river temperature if all the waste heat was transferred to the river water assuming no heat losses during transfer? Estimate the hourly SO2 emissions (in kg/h) from the plant assuming that all the sulfur is oxidized to SO2 during combustion.
5. Estimate the daily amount of magnesium hydroxide needed for FGD for a 350 MW power plant (0.305 efficiency) that uses a 14,380 BTU/lb bituminous coal with 0.85 wt% S. Assume a 95 % utilization of magnesium hydroxide and that the plant meets 90% removal of sulfur.

Problem-9, Civil (Environmental Engg.) An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with 5600 m2 of collector plate area is 96 percent efficient in treating 185 m3/s of flue gas from a 200 MW thermal power plant. It was found that in order to achieve 97 percent efficiency, the collector plate area should be 6100 m2. In order to increase the efficiency to 99 percent, find the ESP collector plate area (expressed in m²).
2 m^3/min of a light oil are to be heated from 20C to 100C (with zero vaporization) in an exchanger using 250 kPa steam of 90% quality. The heat losses to the surrounding air have been estimated to be 5% of the heat transferred from the condensing steam to the oil. If the steam condensate leaves at its saturation point, what mass of steam per hour will be used in the exchanger? For light oil, Specific gravity= 0.88Specific heat= 2.00 kJ/kg-KFor steam at 250 kPa,Saturated liquid: hf= 535.49 kJ/kg vf= 0.001067 m^3/kgSaturated vapor: hg= 2716.8 kJ/kg vg= 0.7188 m^3/kg
