Abstract

The objectives of these experiments are to determine the responses of each tank concentrations to any
upset ,the time needed to reach steady state can be determined for any flow rate. so the procedure of
this experiment is to change the flow rate in each 30 second and record the effect of this change on
conductivity for each tank we have .
Result and Discussion

Part One Conductivity of deionized water in tank A = 0.1

Conductivity of solution in tank B = 0.1
Flow rate of solution through the system = 150 mL/min
From the experiment we measured the Conductivity for three different tanks and then found the
relationship between the Conductivity and the concentration of KCl in the three tanks as
illustrate in the table 1:

Figure 8-1 time Vs Conductivity

Clearly, from Fig.1 the concentration of KCl salt for the three tanks is increasing with time, but
in the third it takes the longest time until the concentration of KCl become significant.
