CHE512 Assignment 1

A mixing tank shown in Figure 2 receives feed from two different streams of an incompressible fluid
with constant density. Stream 1 has volumetric flowrate F 1 and temperature T1. Stream 2 is equipped
with a pump and delivers fluid at a flow F 2 and temperature T2. The level of fluid in the tank is given
by L. The tank is assumed to be well-mixed. The temperature of the fluid in the tank is given by T.
The outlet stream (Stream 3) is equipped with a pump which delivers a volumetric flowrate F 3. It is
assumed that tank level and the outlet tank temperature are measured. Figure 1 shows the Mixing
Tank.
Develop a model that describes the dynamics of this system. It can be assumed that the heat capacities
and densities are of all streams are constant and equal.
