Use one of the following variables to design an experiment pertaining to your biogas generator: 1.) Temperature 2.) Slurry Mix 3.) Consistency 4.) Surface area 5.) Light Intensity 6.) Percent cow manure 7.) Volume of Slurry/Volume of bottle ratio

Experimental Design (70 points)

Title | How the Volume of the Slurry Mix Effected the Biogas Generator | Type of Experiment | Experimental | Background Information | Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, the main component of natural gas, and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. For this experiment we had created a bio gas generator. A biogas generator is any gas fuel derived from the decay of organic matter, as the mixture of methane and carbon dioxide produced by the bacterial decomposition of sewage, manure, garbage, or plant crops. Using a slurry mix of manure and cut grass we came up with the hypothesis “The more volume of slurry, the more gas will be produced”. Our independent variable was the volume of slurry, because we controlled how much slurry to put in the bottle, and the dependent variable was the methane gas. | Problem Statement | How Does The Volume of Slurry Mix Effect the Process of Methane Gas? | Hypothesis | The More Volume of Slurry Mix, The More Methane Gas Will Be Produced. | Independent Variable | The Volume of Slurry Mix | Dependent Variable | The Methane Gas | Experimental Tests | 5 trials | Number of Trials per Test | 1 trial per test | Control Test | Volume of slurry | Variables held Constant | The amount of water used | References(APA formatted) | 1.

    Renewable Energy

    In recent decades, there has been an increased need to produce sufficient renewable energy to support global population growth. In response, it has become crucial to find socially responsible sustainable energy resources that offer energy security, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and do not compromise biodiversity or sustainability of existing resources. Despite efforts to reduce the amount of waste produced, a continually growing population limits the space available in landfills. Municipal and industrial waste biomass is often rich in organic matter, allowing for the creation and use of biofuels as an energy source. This organic matter can be used to synthesize ethanol, methanol, and biodiesel through the conversion of inorganic compounds into energy-producing organic carbon compounds. Moreover, unlike fossil fuels, which take millions of years to form, these organic carbon compounds are formed relatively quickly. Biofuel production from waste is beneficial as it allows for better management of landfill sites, and energy production from materials which typically cannot be recycled or composted. Most importantly, it allows for the reduction of significant amounts of methane produced from landfill gas emissions.…

    In the world we live in, the human population is dependent upon a seemingly endless list of objects and resources. The list consists of certain necessities that have been required since the dawn of man, including food, water, shelter, but the list is always increasing. In the past couple centuries it seems as if the list has increased at an exponential rate, adding staggering degrees of technology, sources of communication, and of course energy. One of the major sources of energy is natural gas.…
