Abstract

It is demonstrated that as an alternative source of energy it is possible to use biogas, formed in dumps for burying solid domestic waste (SDW). Heating cycles are studied for utilizing biogas in SDW dumps. T-ΔS-diagrams are constructed for calculated cycles (Otto, Trinkler, Diesel) for model mixtures (CH4-CO2-air) and for the actual composition of a biogas sample taken at different depths from the body of the dump. It is established that the most ecologically safe installation for utilizing biogas is a heat engine operating by a Diesel cycle.
