In the system shown, an exothermic reaction occurs in dilute aqueous solution in the upper volume V₁, with heat being removed through the floor area A into volume V₂. Cooling water flows through V₂, which is well mixed.

1. Write down the equations describing this system. Do not substitute your algebraic equations into your differential equations.
2. Using the values given below, program a simple Euler integration of this system using a time step loop in which you first evaluate the algebraic equations and then the changes in the states, on each step.
3. Using an arbitrary initial condition, run your program until ...
