CRE Web

1)  Open-Ended: Using the principles set forth in the Reaction Pathway and Model sections of this module, develop a numerical model for the catalytic destruction of ozone using Polymath or another numerical methods solver. Also consider bringing in new ozone reactions, such as those dealing with bromine and NOx (see References). Consider that your model still works at 30 km above the Earth's surface and at T = 300ºK.

2)  Open-Ended: See if you can think of scenarios where this model can be applied. Also, think of situations where this model fails. How can it be adjusted/reworked so that it is applicable to your problem? Creativity is important here.
