Question
1. Three tanks in series containing 10, 20 and 30 gallons of liquids are continuously stirred. 1 gal/min of fluid enters at the 1st tank (w/ 10 gal of liquids). 2 gal/min of fluid from the 1st tank leaves and enters the 2nd tank (w/ 20 gal of liquids). 3 gal/min of fluid from the 2nd tank leaves and enters the 3rd tank (w/ 30 gal of liquids). 2 gal/min of fluid finally leaves the 3rd tank. Only the 3rd tank has salt, which is 3 lbs initially. Assuming that the fluids flowing and that of the contents 2 other tanks are water, determine the time required in minutes for the salt content in tank 3 to be 2.75 lbs. (
