A yard waste composting windrow has a triangular cross section and is 10 feet wide at the base and 10 feet high at the peak and 100 feet long. You may assume the waste has a specific weight of 400 Ib/yd^3 as placed in the windrow. The waste material is 40-percent biodegradable and has the ultimate composition of C60H95040N. Determine the amount of oxygen required to stabilize the waste (show all work for full credit). Assume the aerobic degradation can be expressed as: 3 di

s) You are setting up a composting batch and have 8 tonnes (metric tons) of poultry litter with a C:N of 14, a dry weight % of N of 2.7%, density of 500 kg/m³, and a moisture content of 33%. You are aiming for a C:N of 25:1 for optimal composting performance, so you are considering several options of other wastes to make up your batch. The following table shows the moisture content, C:N and cost per tonne of each material. You estimate that you will lose 20% of the initial mass during the composting process. Determine which would provide the best return on investment if you can sell your compost for $80/m³ and the density of the finished compost is 400 kg/m³.
