A 250-gal tank is initially filled with brine (salt-water mixture) containing 100 lb of salt. Brine containing 3 lb of salt per gallon enters the tank at the rate of 7 gal/s, and the well-mixed brine in the tank flows out at the rate of 9 gal/s. Find the amount x(t) of salt in the tank after 1 minute.

x(t) = 581.66 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Consider the salt quantity in the tank at time t be x(t) lb.

∴ the rate of change of salt content in the tank is

where:

the rate of inflow = salt conc. × flow rate = 3 lb/gallon × 7 gallons

=21 lb/s

rate of outflow = salt conc. in the tank  × flow rate

= x/250 ×  9

= 9x/250  lb/s

∴

This is a 1st order linear differentiation,

The integrating factor if

∴

    at  t = (0) and x(0) = 100 lb

Hence;

∴

after time t = 1 minute i.e 60 s

x(t) = 581.66 lb
