Task 2.
a) In an industrial process, water flows through three tanks in succession, as illustrated in Figure 1.
The tanks have unit cross-section and have heads of water x,y and z respectively (cm).
The rate of inflow into the first tank is u, in the second v and in the third w. The flowrate in the tube connecting tanks 1 and 2 is 8(x-y), the flowrate in the tube connecting tanks 2 and 3 is 6(y-z) and
Figure 1(not to scale) the rate of outflow from tank 3 is 9z.
Show that the equations of the system in the steady flow situation are
8x-8y=u
8x-14y+6z+v=0
6y-15z+w=0
Take u=100,v=30,w=20 and find the values of x,y and z using Cramer's rule method.
