Dual CSTR nonlinear differential equation model

Two continuously stirred tank reactors in series.

Dual CSTR nonlinear differential equation model. It consists of 4 differential equations with mole and energy balances over the 2 reactors. It is a good test model for nonlinear model predictive control (MPC), Kalman filtering, and moving horizon estimation (MHE).
