Abstract: This paper presents a derived probability model that can be used to estimate vehicle and labor requirements for municipal solid waste collection systems. The model consists of closed-form solutions for important performance ...

Abstract: Three applications are used to demonstrate the utility of a derived probability model of curbside solid waste collection. First, the model is used to estimate the time required to collect waste from a route when the vehicle ...

Abstract: Fluidization of biogranules in an anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor is stochastic in nature and it is a function of the size distribution and the frequency of generation of flow-through gas bubbles in ...
