A large tank initially contains 365,200kg of a petroleum product. Two pumps (A & B) feed product into the tank at constant rates of 35,361kg/h and 43,663kg/h, respectively. The product is pumped from the tank into railroad tank cars which hold 75,000kg of product each. After two days, the tank contains 463,542kg of product.

a) How much product has been put into tank cars?

b) How many tank cars have been filled and shipped out?

A tank can hold up to 2500 liters of liquid. The tank initially contains 1000 liters of a brine solution with 50kg of salt. A brine solution containing .025 kg/l of salt flows into the tank at a rate of 40 liters per minute and the well mixed solution is pumped out at a rate of 25 liters per minute. At the moment the tank overflows, how much salt is in the solution?

A large tank contains 800 gal of water in which 42 lb of salt are dissolved. Brine containing 2 lb of of dissolved salt per gal is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal per minute, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, is pumped out at the same rate. (a) Find the amount x(t) of salt in the tank, at time t. (b) How long will it take for the amount of salt in the tank...

A tank having a volume of 0.85 m^3 initially contains water as a two-phase liquid vapor mixture at 260 C and a quality of 0.7. Saturated water vapor at 260 C is slowly withdrawn through a pressure-regulating valve at the top of the tank as energy is transferred by heat to maintain the pressure constant in the tank. This continues until the tank is filled with saturated vapor at 260 C. Determine the amount of heat transfer in kJ. Neglect...

Using differential equation: A 200- gallon tank initially contains 40 gallons of brine in which 10 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Starting at t=0 , brine containing 5 pounds of salt per gallon flows into the tank at rate of 6 gallons per minutes. At the same time, the well-stirred mixture flows out of the tank at the slower rate of 4 gallons per minute. a)How much salt is in the tank at the end of t minutes? b)...

Biodiesel fuel—a sustainable alternative to petroleum diesel as a transportation fuel—is produced via the transesterification of triglyceride molecules derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. For every 9 kg of biodiesel produced in this process, 1 kg of glycerol, C2H8O3, is produced as a byproduct. Finding a market for the glycerol is important for biodiesel manufacturing to be economically viable. A process for converting glycerol to the industrially important specialty chemical intermediates acrolein, C2H4O, and hydroxyacetone (acetol), C3H6O2, has been...
