Formula to Calculate
Hi Members
Can somebody help me with the formula to calculate the following:
In an insulated tank you get 200 liters of water at 5 Deg C and take out 50 liters from it and fill ambient temperature water ie at 35 deg C to it. What will be the new water temperature of the 200 liters.
Please let me know the formula to calculate the above. Thanks in advance for you.

Re: Formula to Calculate
Hi Viking & Frank
Thank you very much for your help in reminding me the formula. I studied this in physics about 35 years ago. If I need any further assistance I will contact you all.

Re: Formula to Calculate
??? Frank,
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100 (per cent meaning "per hundred"
(No, not the great musicians unfortunately, Keep It Simple Stupid was his motto)
The only thing you do when you convert it to percentage is to take it from a fraction based on 200 (or whatever the original total might be) to a fraction based on 100 (and adding another stage to the formula).
But HEY, at least we agree on the answer.

Re: Formula to Calculate
The term which may cause confusion is "(25 x 35)/100 " so this modification will adapt what The Viking is asking about it:
{(75 x5) + (25 x 35)}/100 = 12.5C
Both The Viking and Frank did the same
The Viking formula
((150x5)+(50x35))/200=12.5
And Frank
150/200 = 0.75
50/200 = 0.25
Therefore
((150x5)+(50x35))/200 = 0.75x5+0.25x35 = 12.5
Cheers
