Question: ( 1 point ) Consider the mixing process shown in the figure. A mixing chamber initially contains 2 liters of a clear liquid. Clear liquid

(1 point)
Consider the mixing process shown in the figure. A mixing chamber initially contains 2 liters of a clear liquid. Clear liquid flows into the chamber at a rate of 10 liters per minute. A dye solution having a concentration of 0.4 kilograms per liter is injected into the mixing chamber at a constant rate of \( r \) liters per minute. When the mixing process is started, the well-stirred mixture is pumped from the chamber at a rate of \(10+r \) liters per minute.
(a) Develop a mathematical model for the mixing process. Let \( Q \) represent the amount of dye in kilograms in the mixture.
\[
\frac{d Q}{d t}=\quad \quad \mathrm{kg}/\min
\]
(b) The objective is to obtain a dye concentration in the outflow mixture of 0.1 kilograms per liter. What injection rate \( r \) is required to achieve this equilibrium solution?
\( r=\)\(\mathrm{L}/\mathrm{min}\)
Would this equilibrium value of \( r \) be different if the fluid in the chamber at time \( t=0\) contained some dye?
(c) Assume the mixing chamber contains 2 liters of clear liquid at time \(\boldsymbol{t}=0\). How many minutes will it take for the outflow concentration to rise to within \(3\%\) of the desired concentration of 0.1 kilograms per liter?
\( t=\)\(\min \)
