Question: Q C i n - Q o u t + v C ( 4 0 points ) A 5 0 0 m 3 reactor is

QCin-Qout+vC
(40 points) A 500m3 reactor is filled with clean water. At t=0; the pump is turned on, pumping in a salt solution having a concentration of 100mgL at a flowrate of 50m3? day (approximately 0.6Ls. The volume of solution in the reactor is constant.
a. Draw a picture of the system, showing the control volume, system boundary, flows in and out of the reactor. (2 points)
b. Write a mass balance equation in words. (2 points)
c. Write the mass balance equation using mathematic terms. (6 points)
d. Draw a graph showing how you expect the concentration in the reactor to vary with time.
e. What is the concentration after 20 days, 60 days, and 80 days? (15 points)
f. Assume the initial concentration is 50mgL and the concentration in the influent is zero. What is the concentration after 20 days and 80 days? (15 points)
 QCin-Qout+vC (40 points) A 500m3 reactor is filled with clean water.
