Determine the composition of the waste in Problem 2-17 if 10% of the wood waste, 50% of the paper, 30% of the metals, and 25% of the plastics are recycled. How would this affect the energy content.
Problem 2-17
Using the energy content (wet basis) of the waste components given in the Table P2-17, calculate the overall energy content of the waste having the composition shown. This calculation can be simplified by assuming 100 lb of waste
