Struggling with FindFit for a model which takes results from coupled ODEs as arguments

I have been struggling for a few days to figure out how to estimate parameters in coupled ODEs when the results from the ODEs are used as input for the model in FindFit.



It is a relatively straightforward mass transfer problem, with 2 components (NinWater and NinCPA1). These equations are designed to calculate the number of moles of substances per time, but I have data for total volume, so I am evaluating an equation to calculate the volume from (moles*molar volume).

I have been trying to use FindFit (for a few days now) to estimate the parameters Lp and PCPA1 found in the ODEs to obtain a best fit to the volume data (with no luck).





Here is the code I have so far.







Lp := 2.64*^-27; (* mol^2/(min atm um^5)  *)

Rad = 63; (* um *)

A = 4 p Rad^2;  (* um^2*)

R=0.08206; (* L atm /(mol K) *)

T=286;

minutes = 10;

Vb = 0.19;

Vbv = 4 /3 p Rad^3 * Vb  (* um^3 *)

volconv = 1*^15  (* converts um^3 to L ; 1x10^15 um^3 per L *);

molconv = 1*^6 (* converts moles to micromoles ; 1x10^6 umol per mol *);





PMVWater = 1.8*^7;  (* um^3/umol*)

PMVDMSO = 7.13*^7;



PCPA1 := 4.38*^-31;



BSalt = 2.749 (*salt*);

BCPA1 = 2.423 (*DMSO*);



insecondvirialcoefficientlist={BSalt, BCPA1} ;

exsecondvirialcoefficientlist={BSalt, BCPA1}



NinWater0 = 4/3 p Rad^3 (1-Vb)/PMVWater









NinSalt = 1.663*2.062*^-4 (* Salts; assumes 0.3 osmolal =8A 0.176 molal *);

NinCPA10 =0.1*^-100(* DMSO *);











totmolin[t_] := (NinWater[t]+ NinSalt+ NinCPA1[t])







XinSalt[t_] := NinSalt/totmolin[t]

XinCPA1[t_] := NinCPA1[t]/totmolin[t]









insolutemolefxlist[t_] := {XinSalt[t],XinCPA1[t]





waterin[t_]:= Total[insolutemolefxlist[t]] (1+insecondvirialcoefficientlist.insolutemolefxlist[t])









NexWater = 0.056*^6 (* water *);

NexSalt = 1.663*245;  (* assumes mole fraction of 0.003 *)

NexCPA1 = 1694  (* DMSO *);





totmolex = NexWater+ NexSalt+ NexCPA1;





XexWater =NexWater/totmolex;

XexSalt = NexSalt/totmolex;

XexCPA1 = NexCPA1/totmolex;





exsolutemolefxlist = {XexSalt,XexCPA1}





waterex=Total[exsolutemolefxlist] * (1+exsecondvirialcoefficientlist.exsolutemolefxlist);













V0=NinWater0 * PMVWater + Vbv + NinCPA10*PMVDMSO 



tref=T+273.16;



volconv = 1*^15 













(* ******************************************************************************************************************* *)



(* The 2 parameters I wish to find are Lp and PCPA1 here in the 2 ODEs *)







solution = NDSolve[{NinWater'[t]=8A- Lp*volconv*molconv*A*R*T (waterex - waterin[t]),

  

    NinCPA1'[t] =8A PCPA1*volconv*molconv*A*R*T (Log[XexCPA1]+

      

       (0.5-BCPA1) XexWater (1-XexCPA1)-

      

       (0.5-BSalt) XexWater XexSalt-

      

      

       Log[(NinCPA1[t]/(NinWater[t]+NinSalt+NinCPA1[t]))]-

      

       (0.5-BCPA1) (NinWater[t]/(NinWater[t]+NinSalt+NinCPA1[t])) (1-(NinCPA1[t]/(NinWater[t]+NinSalt+NinCPA1[t])))+

       (0.5-BSalt) (NinWater[t]/(NinWater[t]+NinSalt+NinCPA1[t])) (NinSalt/(NinWater[t]+NinSalt+NinCPA1[t]))),

  

  

  

  

   NinWater[0] =8ANinWater0, NinCPA1 [0] =8A NinCPA10},{NinWater, NinCPA1}, {t,0,minutes}]







(*   End of ODEs  *)







(*Start of Curve Fitting *)





Vtotal[t] := (Vbv + NinWater[t]*PMVWater + NinCPA1[t]*PMVDMSO) /.solution;





(* So I am making this calculation using output from the ODEs to determine the total volume, which includes a fixed volume (Vbv), the result from NinWater'[t] * molar volume of water, and likewise for the DMSO. The sum of all 3 components is the total volume, which is what I am trying to fit to the data (see below).







volume:=Evaluate[Vtotal[t]]



Clear[Lp,PCPA1]  (* It seems that I have to clear these values here to make FindFit work to the extent it is working now)  *)

I have been trying to use the online help and past posts, but with no luck.  If anyone can assist me I would be very grateful.





Thank you.
