Question: Water ( H 2 O ( l ) ) flows into the heater / tank at the initial flow of 1 . 5 LTR /

Water (H2O(l)) flows into the heater/tank at the initial flow of 1.5 LTR/min, the inflow of water grows steadily and doubles every 10 min.
The water (H2O(l)) is boiled away from the heater/tank at an initial rate of 1.1 LTR/min but the boiling rate of water out of the heater/tank increases by 1% every minute. Let the time t be in minutes.
a)(5%) Is the amount of water in the heater/tank a constant unstable curve? Justify
b)(15%) Write down the mass balance of the water inside the heater/tank using a differential balance. Write down all terms in the mass balance as a function of t.
c)(15%) How much water has accumulated in the heater/tank after 60 minutes? Calculate by integrating differential balance
