Complex Dynamics Resulting from Coupling Between Oregonators in a Series of 2 CSTRs with Recycle
Complex periodic and aperiodic dynamics for the coupling between simple oscillators in a series of two CSTRs with recycle has been investigated. Numerical results an reported with flow rate and recycle ratio as bifurcation parameters. A new route following ij bifurcation (j can be odd or even numbers depending on the space time and recycle ratio) to chaos has been identified, The so-called "well-mixed limit" depends on the chemical kinetics involved.
