The Diels-Alder Reaction is an organic chemical reaction. A conjugated diene and a substituted alkene react and form a substituted cyclohexene system. Stefan Körkel used this model in his PhD thesis to compute optimum experimental designs.


Model Formulation

The reactionkinetics can be modelled by the following 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_3}(t) &=& \ \ k \cdot \frac{n_1(t) \ \cdot \ n_2(t)}{m_{tot}} \\
  & &                                                              \\
\dot{n_4}(t) &=& 0
\end{array}

The reaction velocity constant k consists of two parts. One part reflects the non-catalytic and the other the catalytic reaction. The velocity law follows the Arrhenius relation


 k = k_1 \ \cdot \ exp(- \frac{E_1}{R} \ \cdot \ (\frac{1}{T(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(t)} \ - \ \frac{1}{T_{ref}}) )

Total mass:


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

Temperature in Kelvin:


T(t) = \vartheta (t) + 273

The ODE system is summarized to:


\begin{array}{rcl}
\dot{x}(t) &=& f(x(t), u(t), p) 
\end{array}

Optimum Experimental Design Problem

The aim is to compute an optimal experimental design \xi = (q,w) which minimizes the uncertainties of the parameters k_1, k_{cat}, E_1, E_{cat}, \lambda. So, we have to solve the following optimum experimental design problem:


\begin{array}{cll}
 \displaystyle \min_{x, G, F, Tc, n_{a1}} && trace(F^{-1} (t_{end})) \\[1.5ex]
 \mbox{s.t.} \\
\dot{x}(t) & = & f(x(t), u(t),p),   \\
\\
 h(t) & = & \frac{n_3(t) \ \cdot \ M_3}{m_{tot}} \ \cdot \ 100 \\
 \\
 \dot{G}(t) & = & f_x(x(t),u(t),p)G(t) \ + \ f_p(x(t),u(t),p) \\
 \\
 \dot{F}(t) & = & w(t) (h_x(x(t),u(t),p)G(t))^T (h_x(x(t),u(t),p)G(t)) \\
 \\
 0.1 & \le & n_{a1} \ \cdot \ M_1 \ + \ n_{a2} \ \cdot \ M_2 \ + \ n_{a4} \ \cdot \ M_4    \\
 \\

 \\
 0.1 & \le & \frac{ n_{a1} \ \cdot \ M_1 \ + \ n_{a2} \ \cdot \ M_2 }{ n_{a1} \ \cdot \ M_1 \ + \ n_{a2} \ \cdot \ M_2  \ + \ n_{a4} \ \cdot \ M_4 }   \\
 \\
 0.7 & \ge & \frac{ n_{a1} \ \cdot \ M_1 \ + \ n_{a2} \ \cdot \ M_2 }{ n_{a1} \ \cdot \ M_1 \ + \ n_{a2} \ \cdot \ M_2  \ + \ n_{a4} \ \cdot \ M_4 }   \\
 \\
 T(t) & = & \vartheta_{lo} + 264, \quad \forall \, t \in [t_0,2] \\
 \\
 0 & = & \vartheta_{lo} + \frac{t-2}{6} ( \vartheta_{up} - \vartheta_{lo} )  , \quad \forall \, t \in [2,8] \\
 \\
 0 & = & \vartheta_{up}, \quad \forall \, t \in [8,t_{end}] \\
 \\
