Question

20 Kg/s of a fluid with density 5 Kg/m^3 is passed into a tank of capacity 60 m^3, how much time will it take to fill the tank?

(a) 5 Second

(b) 10 Second

(c) 15 Second

(d) 20 Second

The question was posed to me in unit test.

I want to ask this question from Flow Rate topic in section Moles, Density & Concentration of Basic Chemical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) 15 Second

The explanation: Flow rate of fluid = 20/5 = 4 m^3/s, => Time = 60/4 = 15 second.
