Consider a tank which initially holds V0 liter of brine that contains a lb of salt. Another brine solution, containing b lb of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of e L/min while, simultaneously, the well-stirred solution leaves the tank at the rate of f L/min. The problem is to find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t.
Let Q denote the amount of salt in the tank at any time. The time rate of change of Q, dQdt, equals the rate at which salt enters the tank at the rate of be lb/min. To determine the rate at which salt leaves the tank, we first calculate the volume of brine in the tank at any time t, which is the initial volume V0 plus the volume of brine added et minus the volume of brine removed ft. Thus, the volume of brine at any time is
V0+et-ft ....a
The concentration of salt in the tank at any time is Q/V0+et-ft from which it follows that salt leaves the tank at the rate of fQV0+et-ftlb/min. Thus, 

dQdt=be-fQV0+et-ft   .....b

or dQdt+fV0+et-ftQ=be

 A 50 L tank initially contains 10 L of fresh water. At t=0, a brine solution containing 1 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at the rate of 4 L/min while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the rate of 2 L/min. Then the amount of time required for overflow to occur is
