What is the complete derivation of the nonhomogeneous fluid flow rate equation?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the derivation of the nonhomogeneous fluid flow rate equation as presented in Devendra K. Chaturvedi's book. Participants seek clarification on the integration steps leading to the general solution, specifically the completion of the equation involving the natural logarithm. The equation presented shows the relationship between concentration over time, factoring in flow rate and volume. A key point is the agreement that the logarithmic expression simplifies to match the right side of the equation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of completing the derivation for clarity and accuracy.

does anyone know the derivation of the general solution of the nonhomogeneous equation shown in the image (book name: Devendra K. Chaturvedi - Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB and Simulink -CRC Press (2010))

This is basic calculus.
\begin{split}<br /> \frac{dC}{dt} &amp;= \frac{F}{V}(C_0 - C) \\<br /> \int \frac{1}{C_0 - C}\frac{dC}{dt} \,dt &amp;= \int \frac{F}{V}\,dt \\<br /> \int \frac1{C-C_0}\,dC &amp;= \ln |k| - \frac{F}{V}t \\<br /> \ln |C - C_0| &amp;= \\<br /> C(t) &amp;= C_0 + ke^{-Ft/V}.\end{split} (We can drop the absolute value signs since C - C_0 and k must have the same sign.)
 
in your derivation you didn't complete this step ln|C-Co|= ? KINDLY write the complete equation

It equals the same as the right side of the line above it: ##\ln |k| - \frac{F}{V}t##.
