    1-051-OneTankSaltModel-ModelingScenario
    A large tank initially contains 60 pounds of salt dissolved into 90 gallons of water. Salt water flows in at a rate of 4 gallons per minute, with a salt density of 2 pounds per gallon. The incoming water is mixed in with the contents of the tank...

    1-025-MixingItUp-ModelingScenario
    Students build three different models for levels of salt in a tank of water and at each stage the level of complexity increases with attention to nuances necessary for success.

    1-052-SaltWaterTanks-ModelingScenario
    We offer three mixing problems, of increasing order of difficulty, in which salt is coming into a tank of water and upon instantaneous mixing is leaving the tank.

    7-040-TankInterruptMixing-ModelingScenario
    We present a first order differential equation model for the interrupted mixing of a tank with salt water. We offer two solution strategies (1) two step approach and (2) Laplace Transforms.

    6-030-SaltAndTorricelli-ModelingScenario
    We build on a model for the height of a falling column of water with a small hole in the container at the bottom of the column of water. We use data from one video of a falling column of water.

    2014-Blomhøj-EtAl-Compartment models
    An overview of compartment models with many rich illustrations and much attention to various numerical methods in solutions of the resulting differential equations using Matlab. Also included is a section on the limitations of compartment models.
