AI Thread Summary
Selecting the size of an anaerobic digester to fuel a 500kW cogeneration unit involves considering factors such as the feedstock type, digestion rate, and retention time. The digester must produce sufficient biogas to meet the energy demands of the cogeneration unit. Calculations typically include the energy output required and the biogas yield per unit of feedstock. Research and academic resources can provide detailed methodologies for these calculations. Understanding these principles is essential for optimizing the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process.

Hi

I was wondering what the method/theory is behind selecting the size of an anaerobic digester in order to fuel a 500kW cogeneration unit?
Any ideas?

Thanks

This is an EE question?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
