Wittaler [7]

Answer: The amount of salt in the tank after 8 minutes is 36.52 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt in the tank is modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation, which states:

(Salt mass rate per unit time to the tank) - (Salt mass per unit time from the tank) = (Salt accumulation rate of the tank)

Flow is measured as the product of salt concentration and flow. A well stirred mixture means that salt concentrations within tank and in the output mass flow are the same. Inflow salt concentration remains constant. Hence:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = \frac{d(V_{tank}(t) \cdot c(t))}{dt}$

By expanding the previous equation:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} \cdot c(t)$

The tank capacity and capacity rate of change given in gallons and gallons per minute are, respectivelly:

$V_{tank} = 220\\\frac{dV_{tank}(t)}{dt} = 0$

Since there is no accumulation within the tank, expression is simplified to this:

$c_{0} \cdot f_{in} - c(t) \cdot f_{out} = V_{tank}(t) \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt}$

By rearranging the expression, it is noticed the presence of a First-Order Non-Homogeneous Linear Ordinary Differential Equation:

$V_{tank} \cdot \frac{dc(t)}{dt} + f_{out} \cdot c(t) = c_0 \cdot f_{in}$ , where $c(0) = 0 \frac{pounds}{gallon}$ .

$\frac{dc(t)}{dt} + \frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}} \cdot c(t) = \frac{c_0}{V_{tank}} \cdot f_{in}$

The solution of this equation is:

$c(t) = \frac{c_{0}}{f_{out}} \cdot ({1-e^{-\frac{f_{out}}{V_{tank}}\cdot t }})$

The salt concentration after 8 minutes is:

$c(8) = 0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}$

The instantaneous amount of salt in the tank is:

$m_{salt} = (0.166 \frac{pounds}{gallon}) \cdot (220 gallons)\\m_{salt} = 36.52 pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

Forced vital capacity: the maximum amount of air you can forcibly exhale from your lungs after fully inhaling. It is about 80 percent of total capacity, or 4.8 liters, because some air remains in your lungs after you exhale
