1 It costs $3 per mile to transport a ton of material (either debris or waste). Distances (in miles) between locations are: Two cities use incinerators to reduce waste before placing it in landfills. City# City # Incinerator Incinerator # # Incin # Incin # Landfill Landfill # # Formulate an LP that can be used to minimize the total cost of disposing of the waste of both cities. Dennis Bricer Dept of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering The University of Iowa Incinerators 9/0/00 page of 0 Incinerators 9/0/00 page 3 of 0 City produces 500 tons of waste per day, and City produces 400 tons of waste per day. Cities Incinerators Landfills Waste must be incinerated at incinerator or incinerator. Each incinerator can process up to 500 tons of waste per day. The cost to incinerate waste is $40/ton at incinerator and $30/ton at incinerator. Incineration reduces each ton of waste to 0. tons of debris, which must be dumped at one of two landfills. Each landfill can receive at most 00 tons of debris per day. Definition of variables Xi = tons/day of City #i waste that is sent to Incinerator # i=,; =, Y = tons/day of debris sent from Incinerator # to Landfill # =,; =, (There are a total of 8 variables.)
