Polymath code for example in class. Make sure you plot the instantaneous selectivity, overall selectivity and yield over time. Compare these 3 plots during the batch to understand what each of these 3 variables mean.
# ODEs
d(CA) / d(t) = -k1*CA
d(CB) / d(t) = k1*CA - k2*CB
d(CC) / d(t) = k2*CB
# Initial conditions
CA(0) = 2 # mol/L
CB(0) = 0 # mol/L
CC(0) = 0 # mol/L
# Algebraic equations
k1 = 0.5 # 1/hr
k2 = 0.2 # 1/hr
# The 3 important algebraic variables: plot these 3 against time and interpret them.
S_DU = if (t>0.001) then (k1*CA - k2*CB) / (k2*CB) else 0
Overall_SDU = if (t>0.001) then CB/CC else 0
Yield = if (t>0.001) then CB / (2 - CA) else 0
# Independent variable details
t(0) = 0
t(f) = 3.1 # hours

Code for the CSTR example:
tau = 0:0.05:10;
CA0 = 2; % mol/L
k1 = 0.5; % 1/hr
k2 = 0.2; % 1/hr
CA = CA0 ./ (1 + k1 .* tau);
CB = tau .* k1 .* CA ./ (1 + k2 .* tau);
CC = tau .* k2 .* CB;
instant_selectivity = (k1.*CA - k2.*CB) ./ (k2.*CB);
overall_selectivity = CB ./ CC;
overall_yield = CB ./ (CA0 - CA);
conversion = (CA0 - CA)./CA0;
plot(tau, CA, tau, CB, tau, CC)

Despite the fact that Polymath code is shorter to write, I still recommend you use MATLAB or Python. For example, comparing two simulations and generating plots is so much easier in MATLAB than Polymath.
