The average density of a carbon-fiber-epoxy composite is 1.615 g/cm3. the density of the epoxy resin is 1.21 g/cm3 and that of t

he carbon fibers is 1.74 g/cm3. (a) what is the volume percentage of carbon fibers in the composite? (b) what are the weight percentages of epoxy resin and carbon fibers in the composite?

The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.

Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³ 
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³ 

a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins

Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>

b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
     Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>

A nitric acid solution flows at a constant rate of 5L/min into a large tank that initially held 200L of a 0.5% nitric acid solut
leonid [27]

Answer:

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.

Explanation:

Let V (t) be the volume of solution (water and

nitric acid) measured in liters after t minutes. Let x(t) be the volume of nitric acid

measured in liters after t minutes, and let c(t) be the concentration (by volume) of

nitric acid in solution after t minutes.

The volume of solution V (t) doesn’t change over time since the inflow and outflow

of solution is equal. Thus V = 200 L. The concentration of nitric acid c(t) is

c(t) = x(t)

V (t)

=

x(t)

200

.

We model this problem as

dx

dt = I(t) − O(t),

where I(t) is the input rate of nitric acid and O(t) is the output rate of nitric acid,

both measured in liters of nitric acid per minute. The input rate is

I(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

20 Lnit.

100 Lsol.

=

120 Lnit.

100 min

= 1.2 Lnit./min.

The output rate is

O(t) = (6 Lsol./min)c(t) = 6 Lsol.

1 min

·

x(t) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

=

3x(t) Lnit.

100 min

= 0.03 x(t) Lnit./min.

The equation is then

dx

dt = 1.2 − 0.03x,

or

dx

dt + 0.03x = 1.2, (1)

which is a linear equation. The initial condition condition is found in the following

way:

c(0) = 0.5% = 5 Lnit.

1000 Lsol.

=

x(0) Lnit.

200 Lsol.

.

Thus x(0) = 1.

In Eq. (1) we let P(t) = 0.03 and Q(t) = 1.2. The integrating factor for Eq. (1) is

µ(t) = exp Z

P(t) dt

= exp

0.03 Z

dt

= e

0.03t

.

The solution is

x(t) = 1

µ(t)

Z

µ(t)Q(t) dt + C

= Ce−0.03t + 1.2e

−0.03t

Z

e

0.03t

dt

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

e

−0.03t

e

0.03t

= Ce−0.03t +

1.2

0.03

= Ce−0.03t + 40.

The constant is found using x(t) = 1:

x(0) = Ce−0.03(0) + 40 = C + 40 = 1.

Thus C = −39, and the solution is

x(t) = −39e

−0.03t + 40.
