 Problem 2. Overall Mass Balance for Unsteady-State Process. A storage vessel

Problem 2. Overall Mass Balance for Unsteady-State Process. A storage vessel is well stirred and contains 500kg of total solution with a concentration of 5.0% salt. A constant flow rate of 900kg/h of salt solution containing 16.67% salt is suddenly introduced into the tank and a constant withdrawal rate of 600kg/h is also started. These two flows remain constant thereafter. Derive an equation relating the outlet withdrawal concentration as a function of time. Also, calculate the concentration after 2.0h. (answer: wA=0.156g salt /g total at 2hrs )
