Set-up model for a mixing problem Rate of mass of chemical in =(conc. in)×(rate of flow of liquid)= a.c(t) Rate of mass out = (conc. out) ×(rate of flow) = ( )vtyq ⋅. So ()yvatcay −⋅=' where a, 0>V are constants 2. Discussed method of integrating factors: (a) Guess there exists ( )tu s.t. ( ) ( ) ( )ytptuytu +' equals ( )[ ]'ytu . (b) This leads to assorted separable equations, ( )utpu =' which has a solution ()()tppdteetU ==∫, which is evacuated. (c) Define ()yextp= , ()xeytp= . Then ( ) ( )tqytpy =+' iff ()()tqextp=' . Moreover, choosing ( ) ( )00,00 yyP == iff ()00 yx = . So have existence/ uniqueness of original IVP iff existence/ uniqueness of IVP ( )( ) ( )00,' yxtqextp==. But this follows from F.T. of calculus. (d) Conclusion: If () ()tqtp , are defined and cts. on ( )ba,⊂ IR , then there exists a solution ()ty of () ( )tqytpy =+' defined on all of ( )ba, , the solution is unique, and it has the form. where ( ) ( )tptp =' ( )00 =p 3. Used this method to solve the mixing problem: () ()tvttvtveydsscaeetyααα−−+=∫00 (a) If ()ctc = is constant, get () ( )tveycVcVtyα−−−=0, i.e. ()()()tveycVtycVα−−=−0.

(b) Consider the case that () ( )tAtcωsin⋅= . Let to integral ()dssaAetsvωαsin0∫. Set va=λ, get ()()λωφφωωλλ=−+tan,sin22teaAt . Didn’t have time to really analyze the solution.
