12. In 1990 the Department of Natural Resources released 1000 splake (a crossbreed of fish) into a lake. In 1997 the population of splake in the lake was estimated to be 3000. Estimate the population of splake in the lake in the year 2020.

1. Suppose a 120 gallon well-mixed tank initially contains 90 lb. of salt mixed with 90 gal. of water. Salt water (with a concentration of 2 lb/gal) comes into the tank at a rate of 4gal/min. The solution flows out of the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min. How much salt is in the tank when it is full?

2. A full 20 liter tank has 20 grams of yellow food coloring dissolved in it. If a yellow food coloring solution (with a concentration of 2 grams/liter) is piped into the tank at a rate of 3 liters/minute while the well mixed solution is drained out of the tank at a rate of 3 liters/minute, what is the limiting concentration of yellow food coloring solution in the tank?

3. Let represent the temperature of an object in a room whose temperature is kept at a constant 60 degrees. If the object cools from 100 degrees to 90 in 10 minutes, how much longer will it take for its temperature to decrease to 80 degrees?

4. A 150 gallon tank has 60 gallons of water with 5 pounds of salt dissolved in it. Water with a concentration of 2 + cos(t) lbs/gal comes into the tank at a rate of 9 gal/hour. If the well mixed solution leaves the tank at a rate of 6 gal/hour, how much salt is in the tank when it overflows?

5. A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 6 L/min into a large tank that initially held 50 L of brine solution in which was dissolved 0.5 kg of salt. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at the same rate. If the concentration of salt in the brine entering the tank is 0.05 kg/L, determine the mass of salt in the tank after t min. When will the concentration of salt in the tank reach 0.03 kg/L?

6. A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 100 L of pure water.

7. A pot of liquid is put on the stove to boil. The temperature of the liquid reaches 170oF and then the pot is taken off the burner and placed on a counter in the kitchen.

8. We start with a tank containing 50 gallons of salt water with the salt concentration being 2 lb/gal. Salt water with a salt concentration of 3 lb/gal is then poured into the top of the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min and salt water is at the same time drained from the bottom of the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min. We will consider the water and salt mixture in the tank to be well-stirred and at all times to have a uniform concentration of salt. Find the function S(t) that gives the amount of salt in the tank as a function of time (t) since we began pouring in salt water at the top and simultaneously draining salt water from the bottom of the tank. How long before there will be 120 pounds of salt in the tank?
