Hydrodynamic Study of Layer of Municipal Solid Waste in the Processing
On the basis of the fractal model "Menger sponge" a mathematical model has been developed that allows to investigate the filtration in the MSW layer during their processing. The model was validated bycomparing the calculation results with the experimental data. The proposed approach to modeling makes it possible to increase the accuracy in assessing the hydraulic resistance of the MSW layer. Studies have confirmed the advantage of the fractal model, which allows to correctly evaluate the effect of filtration on the thermal processing of MSW in the reactor. It is recommended to use the proposed model for the design of thermal reactors for the processing of multi-component organic waste, including MSW.
