Kinetic Reaction Demo

Overview

This package is a demo that was created for a class in chemical kinetics. It illustrates the behavior of a chemical reaction network A <--> I --> P under various settings of rate constants, equilibrium conditions, and temperature.

Features

Use the checkboxes to turn on / off equilibrium of the first reaction and running the second reaction.
 

Use set variable inputs to change pre-factors, activation energies, and reaction enthalpy. Use a slider to set the equilibrium constant or reaction temperature.

User Notes

The curves are calculated using a numerical integration routine. Sometimes, the code hangs (at least on my system). The source of this problem is under investigation.

Bug Fix: wave AIP now has 3 columns, not 4 -- integration should be less prone to hanging

I see you are using IntegrateODE/M=1. It is not uncommon for chemical kinetic systems to be stiff- if you can find a set of parameters that "hangs" try it with /M=3.
