Problem 2: Methanol is added to a storage tank at a rate of 1200.0kg/h and is simultaneously withdrawn at a rate of m^w(t) (kg/h) that increases linearly with time. At t=0 the tank contains 750.0kg of the liquid [that is: M(0)=750.0kg ]. The initial rate of withdrawal m^w(0) is 750.0kg/h, whereas nine hours later m^w equals 1200.0kg/h a) Derive an expression for m^w (in kg/h ) in the form of m^w(t)=a+b.t and box your expression (where a and b are the parameters and t is the time in h). b) What are the values of parameters a and b in part a (in kg/h and kg/h2 )? Please pay attention to the units and report the correct parameters. c) Derive an expression for the change in accumulation with time ( dM/dt=c+d.t) and box your expression (where c and d are the parameters and t is the time in h). d) What is the value of parameter c in part c (in kg/h )? e) Integrate dM/dt, find a balance equation that gives M (in kg ) as a function of t, and box your balance equation (where e,f, and g are the parameters and t is the time in h ). f) What is the value of parameter g in part e (in kg/h2 )? Please pay attention to the unit and report the correct parameter. g) What is the value of accumulation M in part e after 19.50 hours (in kg)
