Integrating non-constant acceleration to give time

[Danny252]

Homework Statement

Not specifically a homework assignment, but for a personal project - but it's almost entirely parallel with my Physics course at the moment, and is mostly a homework-style question!

I have an object acclerating due to a force, experiencing friction. Both the accelerating and friction forces depend on velocity.

I would expect the result for v to tend to a certain value as time increases, similar to terminal velocity.

I know this should involve integrating acceleration with respect to time - but the combination of questionable integration confidence and a cold mean I just can't fathom the next step.

Homework Equations

Accelerating force = k/v (decreases as v increases)
Friction force = a + bv + cv^{2} (increases as v increases)
Total force = k/v - (a + bv + cv^{2})
Acceleration = \sum F/m
Velocity = \int a = \int (k/v - (a + bv + cv^2))/m

The Attempt at a Solution

My attempts at integration end with a 3rd degree polynomial:
(k\;ln(v) - (av + bv^2/2 + cv^3/3))/m
Whereas I expect t in the equation, and this does not lead to a limit (for sufficiently large values it gives negative speed).

I'm sure that I'm missing something, but I just can't see what it is. I've tried various substitutions and re-arranging the equation, but to no avail.
