- A tank initially contains 100 gallons of water. A salt solution containing 2lbs of salt per gallon flows in at the rate of 3 gallons per minute and the well stirred mixture flows cut at the same rate. When will the tank have 100 lbs of salt?a. 23.6 minutesb. 24.5 minutesc.23.1 minutes d. 20.5 minutessolve using the application of differential equationarrow_forwardHow much water is stored after 5 minutes in each of the tanks shown? How long will it take to fill the tanks completely provided that the volume of each tank is 12 m3 ? Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/ m3 .arrow_forwardA rectangular duct with dimensions of 1 m × 110 cm delivers conditioned air with a density of 1.2 kg⁄m3 to a room at a rate of 45 m3 /min.

- An issue of a magazine contained the following statement. Dropping less than two inches per mile after emerging from the mountains, a river drains into the ocean. One day's discharge at its mouth, 3 trillion gallons, could supply all of country A's households for five months. Based on this statement, determine how much water an average household uses each month. Assume that there are 100 million households in country A.arrow_forwardWater flows through a pipe 25 mm in diameter at a velocity of 6 m/s. Determine whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent assuming that the dynamic viscosity of water is taken as1.30 × 10−3 kg/ms and its mass density as 1000 kg/m3. If oil of specific gravity 0.9 and dynamic viscosity 9.6 × 10−2 kg/ms is pumped through the same pipe, what type of flow will occur?arrow_forward1. Due to government water privatization, a bustling metropolitan city is now home to substantial and continuous water supply. While before the supply was only 200 liters/sec on old pipes, it is now 350 liters/sec running on a new steel pipe network shown on the figure below. . Given: f = 0.015 (for all pipes except the outlet pipe) f = 0.014 (for outlet pipe) Compute the flow of water in the upper branch. Compute the flow of water in the lower branch. Compute the energy loss per unit mass between the inlet and the outlet.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the largest mass flowrate? A) 13 pound-mass per day B) 5 grams per minute C) 78 milligrams per seconds D) 345 centigrams per hourarrow_forwardA room has a width of 13.3 feet, a length of 14.3 feet, and a ceiling height of 13.2 ft. The average flow rate for this room's air conditioning unit is 4 m3/s. How many hours will it take for the air conditioner to cycle the volume of air in the room? Please do not include units in your answer. Assume your answer has at least 2 sig figs.arrow_forwardNext time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.arrow_forward
