A tank contains 180 liters of fluid in which 50 grams of salt is dissolved. Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 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:

[tex]\mathbf{A(t) = 180 - 130e ^{-\dfrac{t}{30}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A tank contains 180 liters of fluid in which 50 grams dissolved inside.

Brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 L/min

The salt pumped out[tex]= \dfrac{6 L}{180 L} = \dfrac{1}{30}[/tex] of initial amount added salt

At (t = 0) = 50

To determine the number A (t)

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt}=Rate_{in} - Rate _{out}[/tex]

[tex]A' = 6 - \dfrac{1}{30}A[/tex]

[tex]A' + \dfrac{1}{30}A = 6[/tex]

Integrating factor  [tex]y = e^{\int\limits pdt[/tex]

[tex]y = e^{\int\limits \dfrac{1}{30}dt}[/tex]

[tex]y = e^{\dfrac{t}{30}}[/tex]

[tex](e^{ \frac{t}{30}}A)' =4 e ^{\dfrac{t}{30}}+c[/tex]

Taking integral on the both sides;

[tex]Ae ^{\dfrac{t}{30}}= 6 * 30 e^{\dfrac{t}{30}} + c[/tex]

[tex]A = 180+ ce^ {-\dfrac{t}{30}}[/tex]

At  A(t = 0) = 50

50 = 180  + C            (assuming C = [tex]ce ^{-\dfrac{t}{30}}[/tex])

C = 50 - 180

C = 130

[tex]\mathbf{A(t) = 180 - 130e ^{-\dfrac{t}{30}}}[/tex]
