Need help with a differential equations problem. Some pointers on how to approach the problem would be nice.
[image loading]


Well I can find the differential equation for x0(t) and solve it easily enough. However, doing it for an arbitrary subsequent tank, let's say xn(t) is where I am stuck. Cant seem to be able to solve for xn(t) without having x(n-1)(t) in there...

Edit: Got the solution. Thanks to everyone who gave some meaningful input.

It's wrong to post your problem and provide nothing else. Either explain what you already understand, and the work you have so far, or don't ask us for help.

BTW the topic here is modeling, which you neglected to even mention. At least you told us that it's diffeqs!

I guess you should try to find an equation for the concentration of liquid B in the first tank as a function of time. Once you have that, I think you can use your previous result for each successive tank.
Do you really want chat rooms?

Some of them are damn like piece of cake. Probably they want from us the superb outstanding solution that would surprise their teachers/professors

This is the easiest aproach and works in principle. not sure how complicated the calculations gets as you go on.

Otherwise it seems like the kind of problem that you should solve as simultaneous differential equations. That is, you put up your system of linear differential equations, and then you use the machinery with matrices where you find eigenvectors, eignevalues etc and then exponentiate to find solution. If your course doesnt cover that, i reccomend the first solution.
