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?

- 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_forwardSubject-advance mathsarrow_forwardRefrigerant 134a enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.?, 200°F, with a velocity of 120 ft/s and exits at 90 lbf/in.? with a velocity of 1500 ft/s. For steady-state operation, and neglecting potential energy effects, determine the temperature, in °F, and the quality of the refrigerant at the exit. T2 = i °F X2 = iarrow_forward
