Question
A tank contains 150 liters of fluid in which 40 grams of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 L/min; the well-mixed solution is pumped out at the same rate. Find the number A(t) of grams of salt in the tank at time t.

Answer:
The number A(t) of grams of salt in the tank at time t is
Explanation:
Knowing
First we have to find the Rin and Rout
Rin = (concentration of the salt inflow) * (input rate of brine)
Rin = 1 g/L * 3 L/min = 3 g/L
Rout = (concentration of the salt outflow) * (output rate of brine)
Rout = () * (3 L/min) =
Substituting this results
= 3 – –>
Thus, integration factors is
A(t) = 4
Applying the initial conditions
A(0) = 40
c = 150 – 40 = 110
Now, substitute this result in the solution to get
