Water is flowing into the top of an open cylindrical tank (which has a diameter D) at a volume flow rate of Qi and the water flows out through a hole in the bottom at a rate of Qo. The tank is constructed from wood that is old and has become very porous so that water leaks out through the walls at a rate of q per unit of wetted surface area. The initial depth of the water in the tank is Z1. a) Derive an equation for the depth of water in the tank at any time.
b) If Qi = 10 gpm, Qo = 5 gpm, D = 5 ft, q = 0.1 gpm/ft2, and Z1 = 3 ft, is the level in the tank rising or falling?

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
