Stirred tank reaction A 100-L tank is filled with pure water when an inflow pipe is opened and a sugar solution with a concentration of 20 gm/L flows into the tank at a rate of 0.5 L/min. The solution is thoroughly mixed and flows out of the tank at a rate of 0.5 L/min.
a. Find the mass of sugar in the tank at all times after the inflow pipe is opened.
b. What is the steady-state mass of sugar in the tank?
c. At what time does the mass of sugar reach 95% of its steady-state level?

Water is pumped through the pipes at the steady rates shown on the diagram. The incoming water contains a chemical, the amount of which is specified by its concentration c (mg/m3). Applying the principle of conservation of mass to each vessel, obtain the simultaneous equations for the concentrations c, within the vessels. Determine all unknown concentrations.arrow_forwardJataarrow_forwardSodium Pentathol Elimination Ed is undergoing surgery for an old football injury and must be anesthetized. The anesthesiologist knows Ed will be "under" when the concentration of sodium pentathol in his blood is at least 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

- A tank contains 200 gallons of fresh water. Brine containing 2 lbs/gal of salt enters the tank at 4 gpm and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, runs out of at 3 gpm. Find the amount of salt in the tank after 30 minutes.arrow_forwardNeed Asap! Thank you A 100-gal tank initially contains 25 gal of 50% salt solution. Fresh water is then poured into the tank at the rate of 4 gal/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the rate of 2 gal/min. Find (a) the amount of time required for overflow to occur and (b) the percentage of salt in the tank at the moment of overflow.arrow_forwardSubject-advance mathsarrow_forward
- When light strikes the surface of a medium such as water or glass, its intensity decreases with depth. The Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law states that the percentage of decrease is the same for each additional unit of depth. In the ocean, the photic zone is the region where there is sufficient light for photosynthesis to occur. (See the figure below.) For marine phytoplankton, the photic zone extends from the surface of the ocean to a depth where the light intensity is about 1% of surface light. Consider a region of the ocean where the depth of the photic zone is about D = 18 meters. In this region of the ocean, by what percentage does light intensity decrease for each additional meter of depth?
