In a solid waste handling facility, the moisture contents (MC) of food waste, paper waste, and glass waste were found to be MCf, MCp, and MCg, respectively. Similarly, the energy contents (EC) of plastic waste, food waste, and glass waste were found to be ECpp, ECf, and ECg. respectively. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
At a municipal waste handling facility, 30 metric ton mixture of food waste, yard waste, and paper waste was available. The moisture content of this mixture was found to be 10%. The ideal moisture content for composting this mixture is 50%. The amount of water to be added to this mixture to bring its moisture content to the ideal condition is _________ metric ton. (in integer)
The concentration s(x, t) of pollutants, in a one-dimensional reservoir at position x and time t satisfies the diffusion equation
$${{\partial s(x,t)} \over {\partial t}} = D{{{\partial ^2}s(x,t)} \over {\partial {x^2}}}$$
on the domain 0 $$\le$$ x $$\le$$ L, where D is the diffusion coefficient of the pollutants. The initial condition s(x, 0) is defined by the step-function shown in the figure.
The boundary conditions of the problem are given by $${{\partial s(x,t)} \over {\partial x}}$$ = 0 at the boundary points x = 0 and x = L at all times. Consider D = 0.1 m2/s, s0 = 5 $$\mu$$mol/m and L = 10 m. The steady-state concentration $$\overline s \left( {{L \over 2}} \right) = s\left( {{L \over 2},\infty } \right)$$ at the center x = $${{L \over 2}}$$ of the reservoir (in $$\mu$$mol/m) is __________. (in integer)
Two discrete spherical particles (P and Q) of equal mass density are independently released in water. Particle P and particle Q have diameters of 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. Assume Stoke's law is valid.
The drag force on particle Q will be ___________ times the drag force on particle P. (round off to the nearest integer)
