A large tank is filled to capacity with 500 gallons of pure water. Brine containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into t

he tank at a rate of 5 gal/minute. The well mixed solution is then pumped out at a rate of 10 gal/minute. Find the number A(t) of pounds of salt in the tank at time t. When is the tank empty?

Answer:

A) A(t) = 10(100 - t) + c(100 - t)²

B) Tank will be empty after 100 minutes.

Explanation:

A) The differential equation of this problem is;

dA/dt = R_in - R_out

Where;

R_in is the rate at which salt enters

R_out is the rate at which salt exits

R_in = (concentration of salt in inflow) × (input rate of brine)

We are given;

Concentration of salt in inflow = 2 lb/gal

Input rate of brine = 5 gal/min

Thus;

R_in = 2 × 5 = 10 lb/min

Due to the fact that the solution is pumped out at a faster rate, thus it is reducing at the rate of (5 - 10)gal/min = -5 gal/min

So, after t minutes, there will be (500 - 5t) gallons in the tank

Therefore;

R_out = (concentration of salt in outflow) × (output rate of brine)

R_out = [A(t)/(500 - 5t)]lb/gal × 10 gal/min

R_out = 10A(t)/(500 - 5t) lb/min

So, we substitute the values of R_in and R_out into the Differential equation to get;

dA/dt = 10 - 10A(t)/(500 - 5t)

This simplifies to;

dA/dt = 10 - 2A(t)/(100 - t)

Rearranging, we have;

dA/dt + 2A(t)/(100 - t) = 10

This is a linear differential equation in standard form.

Thus, the integrating factor is;

e^(∫2/(100 - t)) = e^(In(100 - t)^(-2)) = 1/(100 - t)²

Now, let's multiply the differential equation by the integrating factor 1/(100 - t)².

We have;

So, we ;

(1/(100 - t)²)(dA/dt) + 2A(t)/(100 - t)³ = 10/(100 - t)²

Integrating this, we now have;

A(t)/(100 - t)² = ∫10/(100 - t)²

This gives;

A(t)/(100 - t)² = (10/(100 - t)) + c

Multiplying through by (100 - t)²,we have;

A(t) = 10(100 - t) + c(100 - t)²

B) At initial condition, A(0) = 0.

So,0 = 10(100 - 0) + c(100 - 0)²

1000 + 10000c = 0

10000c = -1000

c = -1000/10000

c = -0.1

Thus;

A(t) = 10(100 - t) + -0.1(100 - t)²

A(t) = 1000 - 10t - 0.1(10000 - 200t + t²)

A(t) = 1000 - 10t - 1000 + 20t - 0.1t²

A(t) = 10t - 0.1t²

Tank will be empty when A(t) = 0

So, 0 = 10t - 0.1t²

0.1t² = 10t

Divide both sides by 0.1t to give;

t = 10/0.1

t = 100 minutes

An iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.286 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1200°

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given data:

initial construction co = 0.286 wt %

concentration at surface position cs = 0 wt %

carbon concentration cx = 0.215 wt%

time = 7 hr

$D = 7.5 \times 10^{-11} m^2/s$

for 0.225% carbon concentration following formula is used

$\frac{cx -co}{cs -co} = 1 - erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}})$

where, erf stand for error function

$\frac{cx -co}{cs -co} = \frac{0.215 -0.286}{0 -0.286} =0.248$

$0.248 = 1 - erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}})$

$erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}}) = 1 - 0.248$

$erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}}) = 0.751$

from the table erf(Z) value = 0.751 lie between (z) = 0.80 and z = 0.85 so by inteerpolation we have z = 0.815

from given table

$\frac{x}{2\sqrt{DT}} = 0.815$

$x = 2\times 0.815 \times \sqrt{7.5 \times 10^{-11}\times (7\times 3600)$

$x = 2.39\times 10^{-3} m$

x = 0.002395 mm

In an orthogonal cutting operation, the tool has a rake angle = 12°. The chip thickness before the cut = 0.32 mm and the cut yie

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The shear plane angle and shear strain are 28.21° and 2.155 respectively.

Explanation:

(a)

Orthogonal cutting is the cutting process in which cutting direction or cutting velocity is perpendicular to the cutting edge of the part surface.

Given:

Rake angle is 12°.

Chip thickness before cut is 0.32 mm.

Chip thickness is 0.65 mm.

Calculation:

Step1

Chip reduction ratio is calculated as follows:

$r=\frac{t}{t_{c}}$

$r=\frac{0.32}{0.65}$

r = 0.4923

Step2

Shear angle is calculated as follows:

$tan\phi=\frac{rcos\alpha}{1-rsin\alpha}$

Here, $\phi$ is shear plane angle, r is chip reduction ratio and $\alpha$ is rake angle.

Substitute all the values in the above equation as follows:

$tan\phi=\frac{rcos\alpha}{1-rsin\alpha}$

$tan\phi=\frac{0.4923cos12^{\circ}}{1-0.4923sin12^{\circ}}$

$tan\phi=\frac{0.48155}{0.8976}$

$\phi=28.21^{\circ}$

Thus, the shear plane angle is 28.21°.

(b)

Step3

Shears train is calculated as follows:

$\gamma=cot\phi+tan(\phi-\alpha)$

$\gamma=cot28.21^{\circ}+tan(28.21^{\circ}-12^{\circ})$ $\gamma = 2.155$ .

Thus, the shear strain rate is 2.155.

Provide an argument justifying the following claim: The average (as defined here) of two Java ints i and j is representable as a

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

public static int average(int j, int k) {

return (int)(( (long)(i) + (long)(j) ) /2 );

}

Explanation:

The above code returns the average of two integer variables

Line 1 of the code declares a method along with 2 variables

Method declared: average of integer data type

Variables: j and k of type integer, respectively

Line 2 calculates the average of the two variables and returns the value of the average.

The first of two integers to average is j

The second of two integers to average is k

The last parameter ensures average using (j+k)/2
