The flow system shown in the figure is activated at time t=0. Let Q.?(t) denote the amount of solute present in the i th tank at time t. Assume that all the flow rates are a constant 10L/min. It follows that the volume of solution in each tank remains constant; assume this volume to be 1000L. The concentration of solute in the inflow to Tank 1 (from a source other than Tank 2) is 0.8kg/L, and the concentration of solute in the inflow to Tank 2 (from a source other than Tank 1) is 0kg/L. Assume each tank is mixed perfectly. a. Set up a system of first-order differential equations that models this situation. [Q1??Q2???]=[][Q1?Q2??]+[] b. If Q1?(0)=10kg and Q2?(0)=0kg, find the amount of solute in each tank after t minutes. Q1?(t)=Q2?(t)=? c. As t??, how much solute is in each tank? In the long run, Tank 1 will have kg of solute. In the long run, Tank 2 will have kg of solute. (Reread the question and think about why this answer makes sense.)
