A tank contains 50 kg of a liquid at 25 deg C. At t =0, valves are opened such that the same liquid at 80 deg C flows in at 10 kg/min through one pipe and it also flows in (5 kg/min) at 50 deg C in another pipe. A liquid stream (15 kg/min) exits the bottom of the tank at temperature T. The tank is very well mixed (but with negligible shaft work), very well insulated, and its contents always have a uniform temperature. a. What is the temperature of the effluent liquid stream after these flows have been running for 5 min? b. How long does it take for the effluent stream to get
within 1 deg C of its steady state temperature? (ANS: 60 deg C,12.7 min)
