50 pound mass of CanadianZebra is placed into a 400 gal mixer which already contains 200 gal of pure

water. 3 lbm of zebra remains are entering the mixer per second with 3 gal of water per second. The exit
pipe contains X amount of lbm of zebra per second and 3 gal of water per second.
V(t) = Vo + (Vi -Vo)(t)

this is the volume of water entering and leave the mixer

=200 + (3-3)t = 200


dA/dt=Si So
=3*3-3A(t)/200
dA/dt+3A(t)/200 =9
p(x) = 3/200
e

3/200 dt

= e3t/200

dA/dt(e3t/200) = 9e3t/200
Take integral of both sides by multiplying both sides by dt
e3t/200A = (9/200)e3t/200 + C
A(t) = (9/200) + C/(e3t/200)
We know that A(0) = 50 so solve fort C
A(t) = (9/200) + 49.96/(e3t/200)
Therefore A(t)/V(t)*3 gal/s = out mass flow rate of Zebra parts at time t
Now we want to cook these parts in an oven
A test has been conducted and after taking a batch of zebra out the oven it is 300-degree F
After 3 minutes the temperature is 200-degree F. Zebra is consumable at 70-degree F. How long will it
take to make a zebra batch = 20lb mass to be able to consume?
A(t)= 20=(9/200) + 49.96/(e3t/200)
Solve for t
t= 61s
now determine how long it will take to secret that 20 lb of zebra out of mixer
A(t)/V(t)*3 gal/s= m(t)
m(61) = 0.3lb of zebra per second is being removed
so 0.3(t) = 20 = t = 67 seconds = 1.1 min to make a batch

Thermodynamics of Zebra
dT/dt = k(T 70)
make T on one side and dt on other
dT/(T-70) = kdt
take integral of both sides
ln(T-70) = kt + C1
T(t) = ekt + C1 +70
To make easier ekt + C1 = Cekt
T(t) = Cekt +70
We know T(0) = 300 and T(3) = 200
T(0) = 300 = Cekt +70 = Cekt = 230 =230/ekt = C
C = 230
T(3) = 200 = 230ekt +70
Solve for k
k= -0.19
T(t) = 230e-0.19t +70
70 = 230e-0.19t +70
Solve for t
0 = 230e-0.19t
0 = e-0.19t
No t exists that would make this solution possible therefore Zebra is inedible at T = 70 and so can not be
eaten and should be either thrown out or burned to a nice char as per FDA policy Zebras are only
allowed to be eaten at 70 degrees F
