Dimensionless Formulation of Kinetic Equations

We consider here a consecutive reaction scheme consisting of elementary reactions of first order 

Osborne Reynolds, born Aug. 23,1842, in Belfast, Ire, died Feb. 21,1912, in Watchet, Somerset, England. 

For the change of the concentration of the respective species with time, the following differential equations (11.5) hold  

In the course of the calculation, an additional integration constant emerges. Here the integration constant is adjusted in this way that at t = 0, [B] = 0. In this solution, there will appear the constants kA, ks, [A]o as parameters. 

The parameters can be reduced significantly if reduced quantities are introduced. We introduce
