Hello,
I am trying to solve a series of two first order ODEs, the ODEs are a function of time but also include a piecewise temperature component that varies with time. I believed at first this is what was breaking the solver but when I make the temperature constant the solver remains broken. Can anyone see where my mistake is? I am thinking it is most likely the constants and/or initial conditions.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
What about your constant ka0. It's pretty large, and you are multiplying it with an exponential function with a positive argument. That makes it even larger.
Success!

Once entered into the expression with the exponential function, the values grow to 10^71 region and higher. I don't think that is realistic, unless countered by a contra-force.
Shouldn't the argument to the exponential function be negative? That would bring the ka values to 10^-5 and higher region, much more in line with the other values.
With that I get:
Success!

Replace rkfixed with Radau (it's a stiff system).
