Question: A batch reactor when modeled in an unsteady state for a non - elementary reaction results in the following differential reaction: d C A d

A batch reactor when modeled in an unsteady state for a non-elementary reaction results in the following differential reaction:
dCAdt=-2CA3+2CA2-20CA+8.5
Where CA is the concentration of the reactant in the reactor at time t. The initial concentration on the reactant CA(0)=1 mol/L. Simulate the given reaction model by using the Eulers numerical method., till time t=0.5 min to determine the reactant concentration. Consider a step size of h=0.1 and show all the five iterations. Explain the effect of step size on the simulation performance.
