Model Formulation

Differential equation system:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \dot{n_1}(t) &=& -k \cdot \frac{n_1(t) \ \cdot \ n_2(t)}{m_{tot}}, \\ & & \\ \dot{n_2}(t) &=& -k \cdot \frac{n_1(t) \ \cdot \ n_2(t)}{m_{tot}}, \\ & & \\ \dot{n_2}(t) &=& \ \ k \cdot \frac{n_1(t) \ \cdot \ n_2(t)}{m_{tot}} \end{array}$

Reaction velocity constant:

$k = k_1 \ \cdot \ exp(- \frac{E_1}{R} \ \cdot \ (\frac{1}{T} \ - \ \frac{1}{T_{ref}}) ) \ + \ k_{cat} \ \cdot \ c_{cat} \ \cdot \ exp(-\lambda \ \cdot \ t) \ \cdot \ exp( - \frac{E_{cat}}{R} \ \cdot \ (\ \frac{1}{T} \ - \ \frac{1}{T_{ref}}) )$

Total mass:

$m_{tot} = n_1 \ \cdots \ M_1 \ + \ n_2 \ \cdots \ M_2 \ + \ n_3 \ \cdots \ M_3 \ + \ n_4 \ \cdots \ M_4$
