Engineering >> Chemical & Biomedical EngineeringWaste Control While Making Soapby Samantha Wilson
Submitted : Spring 2018 This problem served to show how calculus is needed when solving most any problems in engineering. Having knowledge in calculus, organic chemistry, differential equations, as well as an introductory chemical engineering course would make this problem easier for the student. In this problem the student had to find how the concentration of salt changed over time by solving a first order differential equation. With this equation they were to solve for how long it took for this function to reach a steady state and this was done by interpretation of a graph and its points. Simple calculus tools such as integration and deriving were used in the process of solving the first order differential equation. In many cases there can be more than one solution to a differential equation, however in this problem, only one was solved for to make the process simpler.
