Question: Consider two tanks T 1 and T 2 with T 1 containing 2 0 0 gallons of water in which 5 0 pounds of salt

Consider two tanks T1 and T2 with T1 containing 200 gallons of water in which 50 pounds of salt is dissolved and T2 containing 100 gallons of water in which 100lb of salt is dissolved. Pure water flows from the outside into T1 at a rate of 4galmin and salt solution is circulated at rates of 4galmin from T1 to T2 and 2galmin from T2 to T1. If the contents of the two tanks are well-mixed and 2galmin are also withdrawn from each of the two tanks T1 and T2 to the outside to ensure no liquid volume change in the two tanks or the system, draw the process flowchart and determine the engineering design equations you would need to calculate the salt contents in each tank as a function of time and find the time it would take for the salt contents in the two tanks to be equal. What happens over a long period of time (i.e., as t). Calculate all values, By using Laplace transform. I need the actual answer: t=32.8 min... I need the actual answer and process step by step if possible, I'm having hard time working on it by hand.
