What about the salt balance? We expect
that it will tell us what comes out, if we
know what goes in.

A green background slide means that we don’t expect you to get the answer,

because we used mathematics you may not yet understand. But, the answer
will be insightful.

Plot of the
concentration
We see that there is an Initial concentration =0
initial transient
(exponential) that
depends on reactor
volume and then a
steady state is reached Note different volumes and
after which there is no abscissa scales
further time variation.
(If the inlets remain
constant!)
Initial concentration =0

For this example we have
q1 = 10 m3/s, c1 = 2 moles/ m3
q2 = 5 m3/s, c2 = 3 moles/m3
Thus:
q3 = (10 + 5)= 15 m3/s
(2* 10 3* 5)
