differential equations - Solving ODES in order to find unknown constants


I am trying to solve a set of ODES which represent a second order consecutive chemical reaction.


eqn = {
CA'[t] == -k1*CA[t]*CF[t],
CB'[t] == k1*CA[t]*CF[t] - k2*CB[t]*CF[t],

CC'[t] == k2*CB[t]*CF[t] - k3*CC[t]*CF[t],
CD'[t] == k3*CC[t]*CF[t] - k4*CD[t]*CF[t],
CE'[t] == k4*CD[t]*CF[t],
CF'[t] == -(k1*CA[t]*CF[t] + k2*CB[t]*CF[t] + k3*CC[t]*CF[t] +
k4*CD[t]*CF[t])};

I want to solve these equations either for a generic expression for k1, k2, k3, or k4, or for a particular value with these particular boundary conditions, n.b. not to sure if both t= 1 and t = 4 needs to be used...


bcs = {
CA[0] == 0.052952,
CB[0] == 0,

CC[0] == 0,
CD[0] == 0,
CE[0] == 0,
CF[0] == 0.0226939,
CA[1] == 0.047442,
CB[1] == 4.08*10^-3,
CC[1] == 1.24*10^-3,
CD[1] == 0.19*10^-3,
CE[1] == 0,
CF[1] == 0.0191289,

CA[4] == 0.043412,
CB[4] == 5.03*10^-3,
CC[4] == 3.54*10^-3,
CD[4] == 0.90*10^-3,
CE[4] == 0.07*10^-3,
CF[4] == 0.0151489};

I have tried to use both NDsolve and Dsolve, NDSolve requires that I have initial values for k1, k2, k3, k4 and Dsolve doesn't seem to want to help... the rest of my code for DSolve...


vars = {CA[t], CB[t], CC[t], CD[t], CE[t], CF[t]};


solution[t_] = DSolve[{eqn, bcs}, vars, t]

Any help would be appreciated!! Chemistry is my forte not Mathematica!!


Cheers!

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
