chapter 4: temperature inside the landfill

From Equation 3-12, mass of landfilled solids can be found. The bulk density of the
waste is defined by the using Equation 3-13,

ρ b =

Equation 3-13 gives the total volume affected by the injection. The total potential volume
affected by the injection was estimated by taking into account the distance between the injection
well and corresponding monitoring location d, and the screened length of the injection well l,
using the volume equation for a cylinder (Equation 3-14).

The percentage of volume wetted was found out by the equation 3-15,

The percentage of the volume wetted can give an idea of the efficacy of the injection
system being used at the site.
