Oscillations are often deemed undesirable when chemical
reactions are carried out in practice because they
tend to give rise to operational complexities. It is demonstrated
that such oscillations need not always be
avoided. In fact, the yield of the desired product from an
autocatalytic reaction in a continuous stirred-tank
reactor can be, at least, quadrupled.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
