Spherical Gel: Solving Concentration Profiles with Product Inhibition - Prof. Nam Sun Wang, Assignments of Chemistry

The solution to a two-point boundary value problem (tpbv) for substrate and product concentration profiles in a spherical gel with product inhibition. The problem is solved using the 'sbval' function in mathcad. The boundary conditions, dimensionless model parameters, and rate expression, as well as instructions for transforming the equation into two first-order ordinary differential equations (odes) and evaluating the initial conditions. The document also includes the values of the substrate and product concentrations at r=1 and the effectiveness factor.
