Constant pressure ignition with user-specified equations

Solves the same ignition problem as reactor1.m, but uses the local function REACTOR_ODE to implement the governing equations for an adiabatic, constant-pressure, zero-dimensional reactor.

ODE system for a constant-pressure, adiabatic reactor

Function REACTOR_ODE evaluates the system of ordinary differential equations for an adiabatic, constant-pressure, zero-dimensional reactor. It assumes that the gas object represents a reacting ideal gas mixture.

    % Set the state of the gas, based on the current solution vector.
    gas.TPY = {y(1), gas.P, y(2:end)};

    % energy equation
    wdot = gas.netProdRates;
    H = gas.partialMolarEnthalpies';
    tdot =- 1 / (gas.D * gas.cp) .* wdot * H;

    % set up column vector for dydt
    dydt = [tdot
            zeros(nsp, 1)];

    % species equations
    rrho = 1.0 / gas.D;

    for i = 1:nsp
        dydt(i + 1) = rrho * mw(i) * wdot(i);
    end
