A mixing vessel initially contains 3,936.2 lb of liquid fluid. The vessel is fitted with two inlet pipes, one delivering hot fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.216 Ib/sec and the other delivering cold fluid at a mass flow rate of 0.94 lb/sec. Fluid exits through a single pipe at a mass flow rate of 1.268 Ib/sec. Calculate the amount of fluid, in lb, in the tank after 24 minutes.
