Consider the two tank apparatus shown in the
figure. Each tank has capacity
liters and initially contains
liters of fresh water. At time ,
the well-stirred mixing process begins. Suppose
that the concentration of brine flowing
into Tank 1 via the top tube is
kilograms per liter, and that the flow rates
are liters per minute,
and liters per minute.
(a) Determine the volume of solution in each
tank as a function of time, , in
minutes. liters liters
(b) Determine the time interval of interest.
(The process stops when a tank is full or
empty.) Stopping time is minutes.
(c) Let and denote
the amounts of salt (in kilograms) in the
tanks at time (in minutes).
Derive the initial value problem with
and as dependent
variables describing the mixing process.
Enter
as Q1(t) and
as Q2(t).
kg / min
kg / min
with kg and kg.
