Consider the mixing tank below: 

Diagram of a mixing tank with two inlets and one outlet for thermodynamics study.

The flow of the two inlets is balanced such that the solution inside the tank and the solution that flows through the outlet has a constant composition. The temperature is also maintained through the use of a heating mechanism. If the inlet and outlet were blocked, what type of system will the tank be?
