A well mixed tank with a capacity of 1500 gals originally contains 1000 gals of fresh water. One pipe containing 1/2 lb of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 4 gal/min. The second pipe containing 1/3 lb of salt per gallon is entering at a rate of 6 gal/min. The mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 5 gal/min. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time prior to the instant when the solution begins to overflow.

A Brine containing 2 lb of salt per gallon runs into a tank at 2 gal/min, brine from this first tank runs into a second tank at 3 gal/min and brine runs out of the second tank at 3 gal/min. Initially, the first tank conditions 10 gal of brine with 30 lb of salt in solution and the second tank 10 gal of fresh water. Assuming uniform consideration in each tank, find the quantity of salt in the second tank at the end of 5 min.
A well stirred tank with a capacity of 500 gal originally contains 200 gal of water with 100lbs of salt in solution. Brine containing 1lb of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min, while fluid is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min. What is the salt concentration at the instant that the tank overflows? What about ten minutes later?
A 5-liter bucket takes 30 seconds to fill from a spring source. If the average daily water consumption per person is 60 liters: A.) Determine the total daily water demand in liters/day of the community of 261 people B.) Determine the daily yield in liters/day C.) Determine if its daily yield is sufficient to the water demand of the community of 361 people. D.) Determine the rate of flow in liters/second. E.) Determine the number of people in the community so that its daily yield is exactly sufficient to the water demand. Only round off once in final answer. Round off to 4 decimals.
Q6The large tank holds 300 gallons of brine solution. Salt was entering and leaving the tank; a brine solution was being pumpedinto the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min; it mixed with the solution there, and then the mixture was pumped out at the rate of 3gal/min. The concentration of the salt in the inflow, or solution entering, was 2 lb/gal, so salt was entering the tank at therate Rin 5 (2 lb/gal) . (3 gal/min) = 6 lb/min and leaving the tank at the rate Rout 5 (A/300 lb/gal) . (3 gal/min) 5 A/100 lb/min.According to this information, if 50 pounds of salt were dissolved initially in the 300 gallons, how much salt is in the tankafter a long time?
Tank A initially holds 100 gallons of brine that contains 150 pounds af salt, and tank B holds 100 gallons of water. Two gallons of water enters tank A each minute, and the mixture , assumed uniform, flows from tank A into tank B at the same rate. If the resulting mixture , also kept uniform , runs out of B at the rate of 2 gallons per minute, how much salt is in the tank B at the end of 1 hour ?
A tank has a total capacity of 100L, but initially it contains 15L of pure water. Water flows into the tank 8L per min and contains 2kg of salt. The solution in the tank is being mixed well. If the well mixed solution in the tank exits 7L per minute, determine the amount of salt in the solution just before the tank overflows
A tank contains 100 L of water. A salt solution containing 2 kg of salt per liter flow in at the rate of 3 liters per minute and the well stirred mixture flows out at the same rate. When will the tank have 100 kg of salt? Show solution. Answer : 23.1 mins
4. Tank A initially holds 100 gallons of brine that contains 100 pounds of salt, and tank B holds 10 gallons of water. Two gallons of water enter A each minute, and the mixture, assumed uniform, flow from A into tank B at the same rate. If the resultin mixture, also kept uniform, runs out of B at the rat of 2 gallons per minute, how much salt is in tank B a the end of one hour.
A tank contains 1,500 L of water and 2020 kg of dissolved salt. Fresh water is entering the tank at 1515 L/min (the solution stays perfectly mixed), and the solution drains at a rate of 1010 L/min. How much salt is in the tank at tt minutes and at 1010 minutes? A tank contains 1,500 L of water and 2020 kg of dissolved salt.

A 600-gallon brine tank is to be cleared by piping in pure water at 1 gal/min., and allowing the well-stirred solution to flow out at the rate of 2 gal/min. If the tank initially contains 1500 pounds of salt, how much salt is left in the tank after 9 hours and 59 min?
A container contains 200 g of solution in which 30 grams of salt are dissolved. Brine containing 1 g of salt/L is then poured into the tank at the rate of 4L / m * i * n and the solution is mixed well and is pumped out of the same rateFind the amount of salt in the container after 5 minutes ?
A storage tank of a treatment water has a holding capacity of 750 m' up to an overflow point. The treatment water having silica content of 0.003 mg /L is flowing in to a tank at a rate of 30 L/sec. the out flow from the tank to the high pressure boilers is 30 L/sec. With time the quality of treatment water increased to 0.025 mg/L. Assuming that the inflow in to and out flow from the tank remains constant at 30 L/sec, calculate the time required for the silica content in the storage tank to increase to 0.01 mg/L.
