4. The following data are given for a family single stage biogas digester shown in Figure Q 4 suitable for the output of ten cows: the retention time is 50 days, temperature 30°C, dry matter consumed per day = 4kg, biogas yield is 0.48 m³ per kg. The efficiency of burner is 80%, methane proportion is 0.6, heat of combustion of methane =35 MJ/m³. The density of the dry material in the fluid is approximately 80 kg/m³ Calculate: (i) The volume of biogas digester (ii) The power available from the digester.
