that decays d(I)/(d)t=-k_(d)I and scales the rate by (1)/(1+\alpha I). Feed C_(A0)=2molL^(-1),I_(0)=
0.5molL^(-1),\tau =3min,UA=4.5kWK^(-1),C_(p)\rho =4kJL^(-1)K^(-1), coolant T_(c).
aI-decay.
bI_(0) for a single steady state at T_(c)=320K.
ck_(d) above which multiple steady states appear.
dT_(c) for several k_(d), shading the safe region.
