Tank T1 initially contains 40 gals of water in which 16.98 lb of salt is dissolved. Tank T2 initially contains 40 gals of water and 3.92 lb of salt. Tank T3 initially contains 40 gals of water and 7.13 lb of salt. The inflow into T1 is 2 gal/min pure water from the outside and 2 gal/min brine from T2. The outflow from T1 to T2 is 4 gal/min.The inflow into T2 is 4 gal/min from T1 and 2 gal/min from T3. The outflow from T2 to T1 is 2 gal/min and from T2 to T3 is 4 gal/min. The inflow into T3 is 4 gal/min from T2. The outflow from T3 to T2 is 2 gal/min and from T3 to outside is 2 gal/min, as shown in the figure. The mixtures are kept uniform by stirring.
