Stirred tank reactions For each of the following stirred tank reactions, carry out the following analysis.
- a. Write an initial value problem for the mass of the substance.
- b. Solve the initial value problem.
26. A one-million-liter pond is contaminated by a chemical pollutant with a concentration of 20 g/L. The source of the pollutant is removed, and pure water is allowed to flow into the pond at a rate of 1200 L/hr. Assuming the pond is thoroughly mixed and drained at a rate of 1200 L/hr, how long does it take to reduce the concentration of the solution in the pond to 10% of the initial value?

Starting at t=0, a brine containing 4 Ib of salt per gallon flows into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min. The mixture is kept uniform by stirring and the well-stirred mixture flows out at a rate of 3 gal/min. a. How much salt is in the tank at the end of 20 minutes? Ib b. When is there 50 lb of salt in the tank? minutes c. How much salt is in the tank at the end of 105 minutes? Ibarrow_forwardA large, perfect cube of ice sits in the merciless Australian sun. It is melting. Each of its edges shrinks at 2 mm/min. How quickly does the volume of the ice cube decrease when it weighs 8 kg? (Hint: Assume that the specific volume of ice is the same as that of liquid water, which in turn we assume to be 1 litre/kg = 1000 cm /kg.)

- 4. A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 100 L of pure water. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 3 L/min. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.2 kg/L, deter- mine the mass of salt in the tank after t min. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.1 kg/L?arrow_forward1. A tank initially holds 100 gallons of brine solution containing 20 lbs. of salt. At t = 0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min., while the well- stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. 2. A tank 100 gallon capacity is initially full of water. Pure water is allowed to run into the tank at a rate of 1 gallon per minute, and at the same time containing one-fourth pound of salt per gallon flows into the tank also at a rate of 1 gallon per minute. The mixture flows out at a rate of 2 gallons per minute (it is assumed that there is perfect mixing). Find the amount of salt in the tank after t minutes. 3. The rate of growth of an investment is proportional to the amount of the investment at any time t. The initial investment is $1000 and after 10 years the balance is $3320.12.

Let yA(t) and ye(t) be the amount of the pollutant at any time t in Tank A and Tank B, respectively. 1. Setup the system of ODES for the two tanks to determine the amount of pollutant in Tank A and Tank B at any time t. 2. Determine the complementary solution of the corresponding system of ODES.arrow_forward
