Solution of a Chemical Reaction System

Example 5.2 Solution of a Chemical Reaction System. Develop a general MATLAB function to solve the set of linear differential equations. Apply this function to determine the concentration profiles of all components of the following chemical reaction system  

Assume that all steps are first-order reactions and write the set of linear ordinary differential equations that describe the kinetics of these reactions. Solve the problem numerically for the following values of the kinetic rate constants  

The value of = 0 reveals that the first reaction is irreversible in this special case. The initial concentrations of Ihe three components are 

Method of Solution Assuming that all steps are first-order reactions, the set of differential equations that give the rate of formation of each compound is  

The solution of a set of linear ordinary differential equations can be obtained either by applying Eq. (5.40)
