The example covered in class is based on example 4-8 in F2006 and example 6-2 in F2011. <rst> The 3 ODE's are:
.. math::
\dfrac{dF_A}{dV} &= r_A\\ \dfrac{dF_B}{dV} &= r_B - R_B \\ \dfrac{dF_C}{dV} &= r_C
where :math:`-r_A = r_B = r_C` and :math:`-r_A = k\left(C_A - \dfrac{C_B C_C}{K_C} \right)`, and :math:`R_B = k_\text{diff}C_B`.
- :math:`k = 0.01\,\text{s}^{-1}`
- :math:`k_\text{diff} = 0.005\,\text{s}^{-1}`
- :math:`K_C = 50\,\text{mol.m}^{-3}`
We derived earlier in the course that
.. math:: C_A = C_\text{TO}\left(\dfrac{F_A}{F_T}\right)\left(\dfrac{P}{P_0}\right)\left(\dfrac{T_0}{T}\right)
Assuming isothermal and isobaric conditions in the membrane:
.. math:: C_A = C_\text{T0}\left(\dfrac{F_A}{F_T}\right)
where :math:`F_T = F_A + F_B + F_C` and :math:`C_\text{T0} = \dfrac{P_0}{RT_0}`
Using all of the above derivations, we can set up our numerical integration. </rst>
