Abstract

REACT for Windows is a numerical integrator for variable-sized, simple or complex chemical kinetic systems and graphics for easy display of reactant-product species profiles. The program illustrates the ease with which complex kinetic systems with many elementary reactions can be evaluated, or how parameters (initial concentrations, added reactions, etc.). can be changed for evaluation of sensitivity or optimization.
