Reaction kinetics fundamental

We wish to acknowledge C. D. Prater, J. J. Wise, and V. W. Weekman, Jr., for their valuable guidance and critical support of the KINPTR research and development program. Their strong commitment, both technically and managerially, to the development of a reforming process model based on fundamental reaction kinetics was instrumental to KINPTR s success. 

I expect a rapid evolution of fundamental reaction kinetics in the years to come and a growing awareness of its enormous practical value. I hope and trust that this book will contribute its share. Although the publisher does not agree, I wish it will help to stimulate advances in practical kinetics so swift that it will soon become obsolete. 

We are going to model the metabolism of ethanol in the human body using fundamental reaction kinetics along with five compartments to represent the human body. Alcohol (Ac) and acetaldehyde (De) will flow between these companments. but the alcohol and aldehyde will only be metabolized in the liver compartment. Alcohol and acetaldehyde are metabolized in the liver by the following series reactions.
