Question 1. Consider the tank of figure 1 where two solutions 1 and 2 containing
materials A and B are being mixed. Stream 1 has flow rate F1 (m3/s), density ρ1
(kg/m3), T1 (K), 1. concentration CA1 (mole/m3) and CB1 (mole/m3) of material A and
B. Similarly stream 2 has flow rate F2 (m3/s), density ρ2 (kg/m3), T2 (K), concentration
CA2 (mole/m3) and CB2 (mole/m3) of material A and B. The effluent stream has flow
rate Fo (m3/s), density ρo (kg/m3), To (K), concentration CAo (mole/m3) and CBo
(mole/m3) of material A and B. We assume that the mixing releases heat of rate Q (J/s)
which is absorbed by a cooling fluid flowing in a jacket or a coil. Develop a model for
the mixing process.
