fibers (e.g., Dacron) and as an intermediate for polyester films (e.g., Mylar).
The formation of potassium terephthalate from potassium benzoate was stud-
ied using a tubular reactor [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 26, 1691 (1987)].
It was found that the intermediates (primarily K-phthalates) formed from
the dissociation of K-benzoate over a CdCl2 catalyst reacted with K-tereph-
thalate in an autocatalytic reaction step.

Where A =k-benzoate, R = lumped intermediates(K-phthalatis, etc) and S = K-terephthalate. Pure A is charged to the reactor at a pressure of 110kPa, The specific reaction rates at 410oC are k

These are my following equations that I inserted into polymath. my problem is I don't know where to insert a temperature parameter or if there's any equation relating to temperature.
k3 = 1.59*10^-3
k2 = 1.19*10^-3
k1 = 1.08*10^-3
d(ca) / d(t) = ra
ca(0) = 10
t(0) = 0
t(f) = 1000
d(cs) / d(t) = rs
cs(0) = 0
d(cr) / d(t) = rr
cr(0) = 0
rr = k1*ca-k2*cr-k3*cr*cs
rs = k2*cr+k3*cr*cs
ra = -k1*ca
Please help.
