Question: A 1 0 0 0 m 3 capacity rectangular reservoir is 8 0 % filled with pure water. Staring at 7 : 0 0 am

A 1000m3 capacity rectangular reservoir is 80% filled with pure water. Staring at 7:00 am
on Feb 1, a 5% chloric acid solution flows in at 10Lsec and well-stirred mixture flows out
at 20Lsec.
(a) Develop a model for the volume V of the solution in the reservoir and the amount A of
dissolved chloric acid as functions of time. Your model should specify a consistent system
of units, describe the variables and include differential equations and initial conditions.
Note: 1m3=1000L
(b) Solve the initial value problems in part (a).
(c) At what time of the day will the volume of the liquid in the reservoir drop to 20% of
reservoir's capacity? Round off the answer to the nearest minute if necessary.
(d) Determine the formula for the concentration of the chloric acid in the reservoir as a
function of time and use it to calculate the concentration of the chloric acid in the
reservoir at 5:00 pm on the same day.
