A CSMP/360 precompiler for kinetic chemical equations

Abstract

CHEMCSMP is a convenient problem-oriented language based on CSMP/360 and is designed specifically to solve problems in kinetic chemical equations. Users' statements, which resemble conventional chemical nota tion, describe slow and fast reactions in multicompartment systems and flows between compartments. CSMP statements may be inter mixed with chemical equations to provide for a variety of computations and convenient output. CHEMCSMP is implemented via a pre compiler which translates the user's pro gram into pure CSMP. The paper describes the use and implementation of CHEMCSMP and provides an illustrative example.
