Gas hase Reactions: Epsilon not Equal to Zero d()/d(w).. olymath will combine with d()/f(w)..for you Epsilon and Isothermal f(w) Combine then Separate Variables (,W) and Integrate

We can only solve them simultaneously using an ODE solver such as olymath. or the special case of isothermal operation and epsilon, we can obtain an analytical solution. olymath will combine the mole balance, rate law and stoichiometry.
