26. A one-million-liter pond is contaminated by a chemical pollutant with a concentration of 20 g/L. The source of the pollutant is removed, and pure water is allowed to flow into the pond at a rate of 1200 L/hr. Assuming the pond is thoroughly mixed and drained at a rate of 1200 L/hr, how long does it take to reduce the concentration of the solution in the pond to 10% of the initial value?

- 2. 1500-gallon tank initially contains 2271.2472 L of water with 2.267962 kg of salt dissolved in it. Water enters the tank at a rate of 9 gal/hr. and the water entering the tank has a salt concentration of 0.5(1 + cost) lbs/gal. If a well mixed solution leaves the tank at a rate of 6 gal/hr., how much salt is in the tank when it overflows?arrow_forward1. A tank initially holds 100 gallons of brine solution containing 20 lbs. of salt. At t = 0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min., while the well- stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate.

Let yA(t) and yB(t) be the amount of the pollutant at any time t in Tank A and Tank B, respectively. Determine the particular solution of the corresponding system of ODES using Method of Undetermined Coefficients. What is the final equation of yA(t)? What is the final equation of yB(t)?arrow_forward
- A large, perfect cube of ice sits in the merciless Australian sun. It is melting. Each of its edges shrinks at 2 mm/min. How quickly does the volume of the ice cube decrease when it weighs 8 kg? (Hint: Assume that the specific volume of ice is the same as that of liquid water, which in turn we assume to be 1 litre/kg = 1000 cm /kg.)

A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 100 L of pure water. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 3 L/min. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.2 kg/L, deter- mine the mass of salt in the tank after t min. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.1 kg/L?arrow_forward1. A tank initially holds 100 gallons of brine solution containing 20 lbs. of salt. At t = 0, fresh water is poured into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min., while the well- stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t. 2. A tank 100 gallon capacity is initially full of water. Pure water is allowed to run into the tank at a rate of 1 gallon per minute, and at the same time containing one-fourth pound of salt per gallon flows into the tank also at a rate of 1 gallon per minute. The mixture flows out at a rate of 2 gallons per minute (it is assumed that there is perfect mixing). Find the amount of salt in the tank after t minutes. 3. The rate of growth of an investment is proportional to the amount of the investment at any time t. The initial investment is $1000 and after 10 years the balance is $3320.12.

- . A dolphin tank at Sea World is being filled. The tank has a volume of 50,000 liters. In order not to keep the dolphins in their small holding pools too long, they are released into the large tank when it is half full. Pure water is being pumped into the tank at 100 L/min. The dolphins release waste into the tank at a rate of 200 mg/min. Even though the tank is being filled, the waste removal system is operating and pumps 2 L/min of fluid from the tank. A) Derive a differential equation for the amount of waste in the tank as time goes on. B) Solve the differential equation (as much as possible by hand). C) How much waste will be in the tank when it finally fills? D) Once the tank fills, only the waste removal system is operating, so 2 L/min of water is removed from the tank, cleaned, and then returned to the tank. Derive a differential equation for the amount of waste in the tank after it fills. E) Solve the new differential equation.
