A small rural community with a population of 850 people generates recyclable solid waste, at an average rate of 2.0lb/day/capita. The chemical composition of the wastes is C89.10H138.61O51.98N1. The approximate Btu values for individual materials in RDF can be calculated using the following equation:

where C, H, O, S, and N values are in wt %.Determine a the percentage distribution by weight of elements in the waste, round off the coefficients and set up a table b the daily energy content of the waste that is received by a local WtE facility
