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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The complete derivation of the nonhomogeneous fluid flow rate equation is presented in Devendra K. Chaturvedi's book, "Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB and Simulink" (CRC Press, 2010). The equation is derived using basic calculus, leading to the general solution expressed as C(t) = C0 + ke^(-Ft/V). The derivation involves integrating the equation dC/dt = (F/V)(C0 - C) and results in the logarithmic form ln|C - C0| = ln|k| - (F/V)t, which can be simplified by dropping the absolute value signs under specific conditions.

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##.
