A large tank with total capacity of 400 gallons is filled with 300 gallons of fluid in which 50 lbs. of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min. The well mixed solution is pumped out at a slower rate of 2 gal/min.

a. Find the number A(t) of pounds of salt in the tank at time t.

b. When will the tank overflow?

A tank is filled to capacity with 400 gallons water containing 30 lbs of salt. Brine containing 2 lbs of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. The well mixed solution is pumped out at rate of 3.5 gallons per minute. Determine the differential equation of the model and solve for an equation relating amount of salt in tank at time t. Determine the time until the tank is empty.

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 65 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Another brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is pumped out at a slower rate of 5 gal/min. If the concentration of the solution entering is 3 lb/gal, find the amount of salt in the tank after 10 minutes. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK AND USE...

The PLC program simulates a process tank being filled with a fluid. The tank will start filling (via a valve) whenever the start process button is enabled and the tank is below 50% full. It will shut off when the tank is 100% full. In case the level sensor is out of calibration or not working properly, there is a high-level safety limit to prevent the tank from overfilling. If the high limit is met at a preset value of...
