Indeterminate order rate equation kinetics

Function describing exponential decline from a defined starting value, with a concentration dependent rate constant.

IORE.solution(t, parent.0, k__iore, N)

Arguments

t	Time.
parent.0	Starting value for the response variable at time zero.
k__iore	Rate constant. Note that this depends on the concentration units used.
N	Exponent describing the nonlinearity of the rate equation

Note

The solution of the IORE kinetic model reduces to the SFO.solution if N = 1. The parameters of the IORE model can be transformed to equivalent parameters of the FOMC mode - see the NAFTA guidance for details.

Value

The value of the response variable at time t.
