ABSTRACT: The term “waste to energy” has traditionally referred to the practice of incineration of garbage. Today‚ a new generation of waste-to-energy technologies is emerging which hold the potential to create renewable energy from waste matter‚ including municipal solid waste‚ industrial waste‚ agricultural waste‚ and waste byproducts. The main categories of waste-to-energy technologies are physical technologies‚ which process waste to make it more useful as fuel; thermal technologies

Multicomponent distillation 1) Mass balances The feed flowrate is 350 kmols hr-1 and the feed composition is known: 48 mol% propene‚ 50 mol% propane and 2 mol% butane. The distillate stream composition: 99.9 mol% propene and 0.1 mol% propane. The bottom product stream contains 0.5 mol% propene but the mole fractions of propane and butane are unknown. Therefore‚ mass balances are carried out around the distillate column. Overall mass balance: F=D+B Component mass balance for propene: xFF=yDD+xBB

Until the 1960s‚ the radio was the only significant electronics in an automobile. All other functions were entirely mechanical or electrical‚ such as the starter motor and the battery charging systems.
