The mixing tank in Figure 7.24 initially holds 500 L of a brine solution with a salt concentration of 0.2 kg/L. For the first 10 min of operation, valve A is open, adding 12 L/min of brine containing a 0.4 kg/L salt concentration. After 10 min, valve B is switched in, adding a 0.6 kg/L concentration at 12 L/min. The exit valve C removes 12 L/min, thereby keeping the volume constant. Find the concentration of salt in the tank as a function of time.

The answer is 0.04-0.02e^(-3/125)+0.02u(t-10)[1-e^{-3(t-10)/125}]
