The two expressions are coupled ordinary differential
equations. We can only solve them simultaneously using
an ODE solver such as Polymath. For the special case of
isothermal operation and epsilon = 0, we can obtain an
analytical solution.
Polymath will combine the Mole Balances, Rate Laws
10 and Stoichiometry.
