Steady-state processes are usually studied by measuring an initial rate as a function of one variable while keeping the other variables constant. The steady-state response (y) may be represented by a rational function, such as: where x is the concentration of the substrate being varied, with ai > 0 and bj > 0. In order to identify the steady-state process, one must find the degree of the polynomials of [1] as well as the best-fit parameters once a good fit has been obtained. The model parameters are extracted from the best-fit parameters by simple algebraic manipulation. The program is written in TURBO PASCAL (version 4.0 or later). The file DRIVERS.TPU from the TURBO PASCAL Package is required to run this program; hence, to use this program, one must own the Borland TURBO PASCAL compiler (v, 4.0 or later).
