APPLICATIONS (Chemical)
O. A tank contains 200 liters of fluid in which 30 grams of salt is dissolved.
Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pumped into the tank at a rate
of 4L/min; the well-mixed solution is pumped out at the same rate. Find the
number A(t) of grams of salt in the tank at time t.
P.i. Two 1000 liter tanks are with salt water. Tank 1 contains 800 liters of
water initially containing 20 grams of salt dissolved in it and tank 2 contains
1000 liters of water and initially has 80 grams of salt dissolved in it. Fresh water
enters tank 1 at a rate of 4 liters/hour. Fresh water enters tank 2 at a rate of
7 liters/hour. Through, a connecting pipe water flows from tank 2 into tank 1
at a rate of 10 liters/hour. Through a different connecting pipe, 14 liters/hour
flows out of tank 1, and 11 liters/hour are drained out of the pipe (and hence
out of the system completely) and only 3 liters/hour flows back into tank 2. Set
up the system that will give the amount of salt in each tank at any given time.
