Applications involving changes of solute in a
Tank
Basic Differential Equation governing Related
Rate for inflow and outflow
dy/dt = Rate of inflow ˗
Rate of outflow = rate of change of solute
of
solute of solute in the tank
y(t)
= amount of solute in the
tank at any time t
dy/dt = rate of change of solute in the tank at any
time t
V(t)
= volume of substance within
tank at any time t
where:
Rate of inflow =
ri Ci ,
where ri =
rate of flow in i.e. Liters
per minute
Ci =
concentration of solute entering in grams/liter
Rate of outflow = ro
Co , where
ro =
rate of flow out i.e. Liters
per minute
Co =
concentration of solute exiting in grams/liter
