AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differentiation between dx/dt and dy/dt in the context of a mixing process involving salt accumulation in a tank. It emphasizes that dy/dt represents the accumulation of salt in the tank, while dx/dt does not. The concentration of the output stream, denoted as y, consistently reflects the concentration within the tank, reinforcing that y is the correct variable for measuring concentration in this scenario. The conversation seeks clarification on why y is designated as the accumulation term, highlighting the importance of understanding these distinctions in mixing processes.

It is incorrect because dx/dt is not the accumulation of salt in the tank. dy/dt is.

Thts what I am asking whynt it ain't the accumulation term; verbally explain please
 
y is the concentration of the output stream always. Which is also the concentration in the tank always in a mixing process. y always represents the concentration inside the tank and x does not. See what I mean?
