Solving Systems of ODE-IVPs

The only difference between solving a single ODE-IVP and solving a system of them is that all variables and functions become vectors. This is illustrated in Example 5.5. 

Suppose the following chemical reactions take place in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR)  

An unsteady-state mass balance on each component leads to the following set of DDEs  

The following spreadsheet displays a solution to this system using the Euler method for time only up to 0.13 min to conserve space
