a tank contains 8l of water in which is dissolved 32 g (grams) of chemical. a solution containing 2 g/l of the chemical flows into the tank at a rate of 4 l/min, and the well-stirred mixture flows out at a rate of 2 l/min. determine the amount of chemical in the tank after 20 minutes. show all work and setup.

Respuesta :

A tank contains 8l of water in which is dissolved 32 g (grams) of chemical. a solution containing 2 g/l. The amount of chemical in the tank after 20 minutes is 98.66 g.

Given that:

rate r1 = 4 L/min

rate r2 = 2 L/min

concentration c1 = 2 g/L

V(0) = 8 L

A(0) = 32 g

the equation is given as :

ΔV = r1 Δt - r2Δt

dV/dt = 2

integrating the condition , we get

V(t) = 2(t+4)

ΔA  = c1r1 Δt - c2r2 Δt

dA/ dt = 8-2c2

c2 = A/ V

dA/dt = 8 - 2A/ V

now by putting the value of V, we get

dA / dt + 1 / t + 4 A = 8

linear equation has integrating factor :

I = e^ ∫ 1/( t + 4) dt = t + 4

d [ ( t + 4)A] / dt = 8 (t + 4)

(t+ 4 )A = 4(t + 4)² + c

A(t) = (1 / t + 4 ) [ 4(t + 4)² + c]

A(0) = 32 means c = 64

A(20) = (1/6) [(24)² + 16]

          = 296 / 3

          = 98.66 g
