-Using a mass balance, obtain an analy4c expression that can be used for determining the 4me required to consume a
non-renewable fuel resource. Currently the resource of mass (M0) is being produced at a rate P0. The rate of consump4on is
growing according to Poexp(5αt) and new fuel resources are being discovered at a rate Foexp(-5µt) . Assume that the all the
fuel produced is consumed at the same rate so the resource is diminished at the rate and the parameters P0, F0, M0, a, and
m are constants.

M is the size of the fuel source
M0 is the current resource of fuel
Mf =0 will be the mass at time T1 (time when the source will be depleted)

P0exp(5αt) is the fuel production rate So the incremental chance in the resource size would be:
Foexp(-5µt) is the rate of new resources recovery
dM
= − P0 exp( 5α t ) + F0 exp( −5 µt )

Integrating from t=0 (now) to T1

M =M f t =T1
∫ dM = ∫ − P0 exp( 5αt ) + F0 exp( −5µt )dt
