c. In 25 minutes there are 25 grams of salt in the fish tank. What is the concentration of salt in the incoming brine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) dx/dt = 4*c - (4*x / 10) = 4*c - 0.4*x

b) x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

c)  c = 2.500 g / Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Initial volume of pure water V_o = 10 Liters

- Inflow of brine Q_in = 4 Liters / min

- Outflow of mixture Q_out = 4 liters /min

Find:

a) Find a formula for the rate of change in the amount of salt, dx/dt, in terms of the amount of salt in the solution x and the unknown concentration of incoming brine c.

b) Find a formula for the amount of salt, in grams, after t minutes have elapsed. Your answer should be in terms of c and t.

c) In 25 minutes there are 25 grams of salt in the fish tank. What is the concentration of salt in the incoming brine?

Solution:

- We will define a constant (c) as concentration of salt as amount of salt in grams per liter.

- dx / dt is the amount of salt in grams per unit time t.

- We will construct a net flow balance:

                                dx / dt = Q_in*c - (amount of salt / V_o) *Q_out

- Denoting the amount of salt in grams to be x. then we have:

                                dx/dt = 4*c - (4*x / 10) = 4*c - 0.4*x

- Once we have formulated the ODE, we will solve it to get the amount of salt x in grams at any time t, as follows:

                               dx/dt = 4*c -0.4*x

- Separate variables:

                             dx / (4*c -0.4*x) = dt

- Integrate both sides:

                             - (10 / 4)*Ln | 4*c -0.4*x | = t + K

- Evaluate constant K, when t = 0, x = 0.

                               - (10 / 4)*Ln|4c| = K

- Input constant K back in solution:

                                  Ln |4*c -0.4*x| = -0.4*t + Ln|4c|

                                  4*c -0.4*x = 4c*e^(-0.4*t)

                                   x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

- Evaluate using the derived expression t = 25 mins and x = 25, compute c?

                                   x = 10*c - 10*c*e^(-0.4*t)

                                   25/10 = c ( 1 - e^(-0.4*25) )

                                    c = 2.5 / ( 1 - e^(-0.4*25) )

                                    c = 2.500 g / Liters

The solution will be

(a)  [tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} =4c-\dfrac{4x}{10} =4c-0.4x[/tex]  

b)   [tex]x=10c-10ce^{-0.4t}[/tex]

c)   [tex]c=2500 \ \dfrac{g}{liters}[/tex]

What will be the concentration of salt?

We will define a constant (c) as the concentration of salt as the amount of salt in grams per liter.

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt}[/tex] is the amount of salt in grams per unit time t.

We will construct a net flow balance:

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} =Q_{in}\times c-(\dfrac{\rm Amount \ of \ salt}{V_0} )\times Q_{out}[/tex]  

Denoting the amount of salt in grams to be x. then we have:

 [tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} =4\timesc-\dfrac{4x}{10} =4c-0.4x[/tex]  

(b) Once we have formulated the ODE, we will solve it to get the amount of salt x in grams at any time t, as follows:

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} =4c-0.4x[/tex]  

Separate variables:

[tex]\dfrac{dx}{4c-0.4x} =dt[/tex]    

Integrate both sides:

[tex]\dfrac{-10}{4}ln(4c-0.4x)=t+k[/tex]    

Evaluate constant K, when t = 0, x = 0.

[tex]\dfrac{-10}{4}ln(4c)=k[/tex]    

put constant K back in solution:

[tex]ln(4c-0.4x)=-0.4t+ln(4c)[/tex]  Ln|4c|

[tex]4c-0.4x=4ce^{-0.4t}[/tex]

[tex]x=10c-10ce^{-0.4t}[/tex]  

(c) Evaluate using the derived expression t = 25 mins and x = 25, compute c?

[tex]x=10c-10ce^{-0.4t}[/tex]  

                               

[tex]\dfrac{25}{10} =c(1-e^{-0.4\times25}[/tex]    

[tex]c=\dfrac{2.5}{1-e^{-0.4\times 25}}[/tex]                            

[tex]c=2500\ \frac{g}{liters}[/tex]            

Thus all the answers are

(a)  [tex]\dfrac{dx}{dt} =4c-\dfrac{4x}{10} =4c-0.4x[/tex]  

b)   [tex]x=10c-10ce^{-0.4t}[/tex]

c)   [tex]c=2500 \ \dfrac{g}{liters}[/tex]
