A 2000-liter tank initially contains 400 liters of pure water. Beginning at t = 0, an aqueous solution containing 1.00 g/L of potassium chloride flows into the tank at a rate of 8.00 L/s and an outlet stream simultaneously starts flowing at a rate of 4.00 L/s. The contents of the tank are perfectly mixed, and the densities of the feed stream and of the tank solution, rho (g/L), may be considered equal and constant. Let V (t) L denote the volume of the tank contents and C (t) (g/L) the concentration of potassium chloride in the tank contents and outlet stream.

Required:
a. Write a total mass balance on the tank contents, convert it to an equation for dV/dt. and provide an initial condition.
b. Without solving either equation, sketch the plots you would expect to obtain for V versus t and C versus t. Briefly explain your reasoning. Solve the mass balance equation to obtain an expression for V(t).

Answer:

A) 8 l/s - 4 l/s = dv/dt

initial conditions : t = 0 , v = 400 L

B) Vt = 4t + 400

Explanation:

Given data :

volume of tank = 2000 liter

volume of water in tank = 400 liters

aqueous solution contains = 1 g/l potassium chloride

flow rate of solution = 8.00 L/s  ( v1 )

outlet stream flow rate = 4.00 L/s  ( v2 )

t = 0

density of the whole content of the tank ( feed stream and tank solution )= rho (g/l )

assuming

v (t) liters = volume of tank  contents

C (t) g/l =  concentration of potassium chloride in tank contents and outlet stream

A ) Total mass balance on the tank contents

mass inlet - mass outlet = mass accumulation  ------ 1

note : mass accumulation = dm/dt

         mass = density * v

hence equation 1 becomes

( D1 * v1 ) - (D2 *v2) = dM/dt

D1 * (8 l/s) - D2 * (4 l/s) = dM/dt   ----- 2

since D1 = D2 = Dm and M = ( D*v )

hence equation 2 becomes

8 l/s - 4 l/s = dv/dt

initial conditions : t = 0 , v = 400 l

B) attached below is the required sketch

solving the mass balance equation to obtain an expression for V(t)

8 l/s - 4 l/s = dv/dt

= 8 - 4 = dv/dt

=  4 = dv/dt

hence dv = 4dt

integrating

Vt - vi = 4*t

input the initial volume ( vi ) = 400

Vt = 4t + 400

The reason behind the sketch is that the volume increase because the inflow is greater than the outflows

also the concentration increases because of the addition of a concentrated mixture

The mass balance equation for V(t) has been given as V(t) = 4t + 400.

(A) The flow volume of the tank has been considered as:

Mass inlet - Mass outlet = Mass accumulated

The mass can be defined by: mass = Density × Volume

The mass accumulated has been given by: [tex]\rm \dfrac{dM}{dt}[/tex]

Thus, the equation can be written as:

(Density of inlet × Volume of inlet) - (Density of outlet × Volume of outlet) = [tex]\rm \dfrac{dM}{dt}[/tex]

The given tank has an inlet flow rate = 8 L/s

Outlet flow rate = 4 L/s

Substituting the values for volume:

(Density of inlet × 8 L/s) - (Density of outlet ×4 L/s = [tex]\rm \dfrac{dM}{dt}[/tex]

Since the Potassium chloride has been inlet and outlet, the density has been the same.

The differentiation of mass with the same density cancels the term density in the equation:

8 L/s - 4 L/s = [tex]\rm \dfrac{dV}{dt}[/tex]

4 = [tex]\rm \dfrac{dV}{dt}[/tex]

(B) At the initial condition of the tank, at time t = 0 sec,

The initial volume of the tank has been 400 L.

Solving the equation for V(t):

4 dt = dV

Integrating with volume Vi to Vt:

V (at t) - V (initial) = 4 dt

V(t) = 4t + 400

The plot for V versus t has been a straight line, as there has been a direct relationship between the Volume and time, and with an increase in time, there has been an increase in the volume.

The plot of C versus t has been a hyperbolic growth curve, as there has been an exponential relationship between the C and t.
