The mass balance for variable volume tanks is shown in Equations 2.1-2.4:<br />

Equation 2.1<br />

Equation 2.2<br />

Equation 2.3<br />

Equation 2.4<br />

where:<br />

C in<br />

= influent flow rate (m 3 /d)<br />

= effluent flow rate (m 3 /d)<br />

= influent concentration (mg/L)<br />

= effluent concentration (mg/L)<br />

= rate of reaction (mg/L/d)<br />

V = liquid volume (m 3 )<br />

t = time (d)<br />

Another feature of the objects with volume is their initial volume. When a simulation<br />

begins, the user can specify what volume the tank initially has through the use of a<br />

logical variable called start with full tank, located under<br />

Initial Conditions > Initial volume. If this logical switch is true, then the tank will be full<br />

at the beginning of the simulation.<br />
