1. A liquid mixture containing 60.0 wt% n-octane and 40.0 wt% n-decane flows into a tank
mounted on a mass balance. The mass in kg indicated by the scale is plotted against time.
The data fall on a straight line that passes through the points (t=3 min, m=150 kg) and (t=10
min, m=250 kg). Use the specific gravity from appendix B.1 to find the density for each
species.
a. Calculate the mass flow rate of the liquid mixture.
b. Use the more accurate estimate of the mixture average density to estimate the
volumetric flow rate of the liquid mixture.
c. What is the mass of the empty tank?
