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 '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
