 2. Matlab code
Brief discussion of code
I firstly defined my constants so that matlab would know what i mean by k1, k2, k3
without constantly writing the values of the constants. Then I added a time span so that
matlab would know the time range to run my code for. I then created vectors of initial
concentrations as this is given and needed to solve the ODEs. from this, i could then
solve the ODEs using ODE-45 function
A full description of my code is listed in the appendix.

3. Using simulink to solve ODEs

This is the diagram produced in the scope once I ran the simulink code

4.Main learning outcomes

● I have learned how to use matlab and be specific whilst coding
● I have learned how to use simulink to solve ODEs
● I have learned which simulink models to use to get my desired outcome for example
using scope to view my diagram and using a MUX to combine my separate ODEs into 1
diagram
● This assignment has taught me how to fix my code on matlab and simulink where errors
may have occurred
 ● I have learned to use the ODE-45 function to solve ODEs
