Dynamics of the Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor Having Consecutive Reactions A yields B yields C.
Abstract
The possible combinations of stable and unstable multiple steady states and bifurcating periodic orbits for the continuously stirred tank reactor having consecutive exothermic chemical reactions A yields B yields C are found by an extensive numerical search. The resulting response diagrams demonstrate the jump phenomena that are possible during the reactor start-up and shut-down, and they serve as a model for the possible dynamics in other reactor problems, e.g. the tubular reactor and catalyst particle. Furthermore, the methods as used here for lumped parameter systems apply equally well to distributed parameter systems when certain notational changes are made. (Author)
