How we will proceed:<br />

• In the remainder of this Chapter, we shall learn how to analytically solve the rate<br />

equations for elementary reactions and for simple composite reactions.<br />

• In Chapter 3, we shall then consider different methods for solving coupled nonlinear<br />

differential equations for complex reaction systems.<br />

<strong>—</strong> These methods are well established for stationary reaction systems.<br />

<strong>—</strong> However, the modeling of instationary reaction systems (such as ignition<br />

processes, explosions and detonations, 3D or 4D models of atmospheric<br />

chemistry and climate evolution, . . . ) continues to be a tremendously challenging<br />

task.
