  Senior authorCorresponding

  In North America, temperatures nearing 100°C have been reported in several municipal solid waste landfills. However, the temporal and spatial-dependent processes that result in excessive heat accumulation are not well understood. The objective of this study was to develop a transient finite-element three-dimensional model that incorporates gas-liquid-heat reactive transfer in a landfill with biotic and abiotic reactions and spatially dependent heat transfer processes to better understand heat ge…
