Salinity of water, 𝑠, is defined as the ratio of mass of salt dissolved per unit mass of thesaline water, i.e.,𝑠 = 𝑚𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑡𝑚Here, m is the total mass of the mixture. Consider a tank containing water with salinity𝑠 and density ρ (of the mixture) at a given instance, and having inlet(s) through whichwater enters with some salinity (not necessarily equal to the instantaneous salinityinside the tank), and outlet(s) through which the saline water leaves. Apply theReynolds transport theorem for the rate of change of 𝑚𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑡.

The Reynolds Transport Theorem is a fundamental theorem in fluid mechanics that relates the rate of change of a property of a system to the rate of change of that property within a control volume, plus the rate of flow of that property across the control volume boundaries.

Let's denote the mass of salt in the tank at any time t as m_salt(t), and the total mass of the mixture (water + salt) in the tank at any time t as m(t). The salinity s(t) at any time t is then given by s(t) = m_salt(t) / m(t).

The Reynolds Transport Theorem can be applied to the mass of salt in the tank. The theorem states that the rate of change of m_salt in the system (the tank) is equal to the rate of change of m_salt in the control volume (also the tank), plus the net rate of flow of m_salt across the control volume boundaries (the inlets and outlets).

Mathematically, this can be written as:

d(m_salt)/dt = d/dt ∫_V ρ_salt dV + ∫_S ρ_salt (v . n) dS

where:

• d(m_salt)/dt is the rate of change of the mass of salt in the system,
• ∫_V ρ_salt dV is the integral over the control volume of the salt density times the volume element,
• ∫_S ρ_salt (v . n) dS is the integral over the control volume surface of the salt density times the velocity dotted with the outward-pointing normal vector times the surface element.

The left-hand side of the equation represents the rate of change of the mass of salt in the system. The first term on the right-hand side represents the rate of change of the mass of salt within the control volume, and the second term on the right-hand side represents the net rate of flow of salt across the control volume boundaries.

This equation can be used to calculate the rate of change of the salinity of the water in the tank, given the density and velocity of the water entering and leaving the tank, and the salinity of the water entering the tank.
