The following data is given for a family biogas digester suitable for the output of 10 cows, the retention time is 30 days, temperature 300oC dry matter consumed per day is 2kg/day/cow & biogas yield is 0.24m3 per kg. The efficiency of burner is 60%, methane proportion is 0.8, Heat of combustion of methane is 28mJ/m3, calculate the volume of digester & the power available from the digester. Assume density of dry material in the fluid is 50kg/m3.
