Concentration calculation
Thread Content
I have a question regarding concentration calculation; it’s somewhat similar to problems from advanced calculus. Suppose there is an ethanol solution with a concentration of 80% in a tank, covering a volume of 100 cubic meters. Now, 10 cubic meters per hour of ethanol with a 100% concentration is added, assuming that the mixture becomes uniform after the addition. And the output is 15 cubic meters per hour. How do I calculate the concentration of the material discharged at a certain time?
No knowledge of advanced mathematics is needed; if you treat it as an elementary math problem, it will seem easy
The concentration keeps changing – is elementary school math that advanced?
In elementary mathematics, the concept of material balance is used in chemical engineering principles
Due to the differences in feed concentration, as well as the concentration and flow rate of the material inside the tank, the concentration of the material in the tank changes continuously over time, and the liquid level also changes.
