Computes N compartment models in series, each with volume = Vp/N, and with an added delay.
Description
N well stirred tanks (i.e. compartmental models with flow) are connected in series. A delay is imposed on the result. The total volume is kept constant. The transit time and the variances of the input to the first tank and the output of the last tank after the delay are computed. From this information, the transit time, and the variance of N stirred tanks plus delay is computed.
