Estimate the unit solid waste generation rate per week for a residential area consisting of 1000 homes. the observation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected for disposal. the observation period was one week, 1. number of compactor truckloads = 10 2. the average size of compactor truck = 20 yd 3. number of flatbed loads = 8 4. average flatbed volume = 3 yd 5. number of loads from individual residents private cars and trucks = 20 6. estimated volume per domestic vehicle = 8 ft?

277.3 yd solid waste generated per residential area

Explanation:

given data

total homes = 1000

Number of compactor truck load = 10

Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd

Number of flatbed load = 8

Average flatbed volume = 3 yd

Number of load from private cars, truck = 20

Volume per domestic vehicle = 8 ft

solution

first we need find waste generate by any area or volume of waste and number of the container

then we will calculate the product of number of containers and volume or mass of the solid waste

after that divide it from product of time and the number of population

we have given number of vehicle and volume

so calculate products of number of vehicle and  volume and divide from number of population

here observation and estimation both are 1 week

so we avoid number of week

so

product of number of vehicles and their volume  is

= 10 × 20 + 8 × 3 + 20 ×

= 277.3 yd³

here   because volume of domestic vehicle are in ft so we convert it in yd

so unit generation to solid waste per week is

=  

= 0.277 yd per person

so here if consider total population as a unit

then it will be 277.3 yd solid waste generated per residential area

a supercell is a thunderstorm with a deep, persistently rotating updraft. supercells are the least common form of thunderstorm yet they are potentially the most violent. large hail of greater than baseball size, strong damaging winds, and tornadoes can accompany these storms.
