A. 12,800 B. 18,200 C. 14,080 D. 14,800

A

Answer: C

Solution:

Truck loads = Safety factor x Cu.m. gravel/cu.m. concrete x Trucks/cu.m. x Concrete volume
= 1.1 x 1 cu.m./cu.m. x 1 truck load/2.5 cu.m. x (4 cu.m/m x 8,000 m)
= 14,080 truck loads

70

B. 0.75 tonnes/sq.m.
C. 7.5 tonnes/sq.m.
D. 5.1 tonnes/sq.m

A

Answer A

inking Factor of safety = Min. defensive bearing stress/Offensive bearing stress

A. 8.22

B. 1.80
C. 2.88

D. 2.08

A. 65,520,000 tonnes B. 81,900,000 tonnes C. 65,520 tonnes D. 81,900 tonnes

A

Answer: B
Solution:
SlidingFactor of Safety = Min. defensive horizontal force/Offensive horizontal force
Min. defensive force = Coef. of friction x Weight = FS x Offensive force
Weight = FS x Offensive force / Coef. of friction
Weight = 2 x (546 tonnes/sq.m. x 60,000 sq.m.) / 0.8
Weight = 81,900,000 tonnes

84
Q

Q

Determine the daily biogas consumption in cubic meters of an industrial boiler using 5 units
of 50-cm gas burner 8 hours a day. The consumption of each gas burner is 1.2 cu.m./hour.
A. 48
B. 84
C. 40
D. 80

A

Answer: A
Solution:
C = NBT
where C= Consumption, N = No. of units, B = biogas consumption of device, T = Time
C = (5 units)( 1.2 m3/hr)(8 hrs)
= 48 m3

Q

Estimate the biogas production in cubic meters per day from a large balloon type digester
using 1:1 water-manure ratio. The source farm has 2,000 heads of porkers of mixed ages. Use
a retention period of 30 days. The mean daily manure production of porkers is 2.2 kg/head
while the specific gas production for 30-day manure retention period is 0.063 m3/kg.
A. 4,400
B. 126
C. 162
D. 277

A

Answer: D
Solution:
P = NMG
B. 126
C. 162
D. 277
where P = biogas production potential, N = No.of heads, M = manure production,
G = Specific gas production of the manure for a specific retention period
P = (2000 heads)(2.2 kg/head)(0.063 m3/kg)
= 277.2 m3

87
Q

How many heads of breeding cattle are needed as source of manure to generate 85 m3 of
biogas a day if the retention period is 25 days and water-manure ratio is 1:1. The mean daily
manure production of breeding cattle is 13 kg/head while its specific gas production for 25
day manure retention period is half of that of chicken dung.
A. 33
B. 7
C. 218
D. 34

A

Answer: C
Solution:
N = P/(MG)
where N = No. of heads, C = biogas production, M = manure production,
G = Specific gas production of the manure for a specific retention period
G = 0.5 x G for chicken dung at 25-day retention period
= 0.5 x 0.06 m3/kg
= 0.03 m3/kg
C = (85 m3)/[(13 kg/head)(0.03 m3/kg)]
= 217.9 heads, to avoid gas shortage round up to 193 heads

Q

When approved as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project, how much will the
project owner of a new covered lagoon biodigester receive annually from CDM fund for the
first 10 years if the digester produces 7,000 tonnes of methane plus 3,000 tonnes of carbon
dioxide annually. Assume current carbon credit costs US$12 per tonne of carbon equivalent.
A. US$ 1,800,000
B. US$ 120,000
C. US$ 1,200,000
D. US$ 204,000

A

Answer: A
Solution:
Considering that methane is 21 times more destructive than carbon,
Amount = Carbon cost per tonne x [(tonnes carbon/year + 21 (tonnes of methane/year)]
= US$ 12 [3,000 + 21(7,000)]
= US$ 1,800,000/yea
