Consider the mixing process shown in the figure. A mixing chamber initially contains 2 liters of a clear liquid. Clear liquid flows into the chamber at a rate of 10 liters per minute. A dye solution having a concentration of 0.75 kilograms per liter is injected into the mixing chamber at a constant rate of r liters per minute. When the mixing process is started, the well-stirred mixture is pumped from the chamber at a rate of 10+r liters per minute.
Part A and B provided. Please solve part C...
(a) Develop a mathematical model for the mixing process. Let
Q represent the amount of dye in kilograms in the
mixture.
dQ/dt = _______ kg / min
3/4*r-Q/2(10+r)
(b) The objective is to obtain a dye concentration in the outflow
mixture of 0.1 kilograms per liter. What injection rate r
is required to achieve this equilibrium solution?
r =______ L / min
20/13
Would this equilibrium value of r be different if the
fluid in the chamber at time t=0 contained some dye?
(c) Assume the mixing chamber contains 2 liters of clear liquid at
time t=0. How many minutes will it take for the outflow
concentration to rise to within 1% of the desired concentration of
0.1 kilograms per liter?
t = ___________ min
