Two tanks each contain 100 gal of water and tank 2 initially has 50 lbs of salt uniformly dissolved in it. An external flow brings adds 5 gal/min to tank 1 with 5 lbs of salt in it. Tank 1 feeds tank 2 at 10 gal/min, and tank 2 feeds back to tank 1 at 5 gal/min. Finally, an exit stream leaves tank 2 at 5 gal/min.

1) Use Laplace transforms to solve the system of ODEs modeling this system and report the amount of salt in tank 2 as a function of time.

2)find the Homogeneous solution for the system of ODEs above without Laplace transforms; instead, using eigenvalues/eigenvectors.

3)Solve the Particular solution for the system of ODEs above using Undetermined Coefficients.

Tanks A and Bare filled with 100 gal and 200 gal of brine respectively. Initially, 40 lb of salt dissolved in the solution in tank A and 20 lb of salt dissolved in the solution in tankB. The system is closed in that the well-mixed liquid pumped from A into B and from B into A at a rate of 25gal/min each (so, the liquid volumes do not change over the time in both tanks). (a) Find the general equation...

A tank originally contains 100 gal of fresh water. Then water containing 1 2 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture is allowed to leave at the same rate. After 10 min the process is stopped, and fresh water is poured into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, with the mixture again leaving at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at...

A tank contains 100 gal of water. Brine enters the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min. The mixture, thoroughly stirred, leaves the tank at the rate of 2 gal/min. If the salt concentration in the brine at the end of 20 minutes is to be 2 lb/gal, what should be the salt concentration in the brine entering the tank?

Consider a large tank holding 50 gal of pure water into which a brine solution of salt begins to flow at a constant rate of 6 gal/min. the brine leaves the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.1 lbs per gallon, determine the function X that will determine the amount of brine in the tank at any time t.
