LP Examples Solid Waste Management

A SOLID WASTE PROBLEM A city generates 200 tons/day of solid wastes and must dispose it to three landfills. The data about the cost is given in the table. For environmental reason all the three landfills has to be utilized. Develop the needed equations (objective function and constraints) for Linear programming model to find the optimal distribution of the waste to the three landfills. Landfill Maximum capacity (tons/day) L 1 L 2 L 3 120 100 50 Cost of transfer to landfill ($/ton) 4 3 2 Cost of disposal at the landfill ($/ton) 3 5 4

MODEL FORMULATION MIN 7 X 1 + 8 X 2 + 6 X 3 SUBJECT TO X 1 + X 2 + X 3 = 200 X 1 <= 120 X 2 <= 100 X 3 <= 50 X 1 >= 0 X 2 >= 0 X 3 >= 0 END

SOLID WASTE SOLUTION using LINDO Objective function Value = $1380 X 1 = 120; X 2 = 30; X 3 = 50

LP Example of Soil Stability

SOIL STABILITY PROBLEM In order to assure adequate stability under load repetition, a soil mixture for base and sub-base courses in the construction of a certain highway must have a liquid limit, 21=<LL<=28, and a Plasticity Index, 4=<PI<=6. Two materials, A and B, are available as follows: Properties LL PI Cost ($/cu. m ) A 35 8 $. 35 B 20 3. 5 $. 65 Assume that the LL and the PI are linear functions of the combinations of the two materials A and B and determine the optimal proportion of base and sub-base.
